What you have given above is all that is on Findmypast so I think that might be all there is to find.

As he died in service, it's highly unlikely that his record was retained

There's a mistake somewhere as there is also this man:

Indian Mutiny Medal Roll 1857-1859
First name(s) Thomas
Last name Moore
Service number 2349
Rank Corporal
Unit or regiment 75th Foot
Clasp Delhi, Relief of Lucknow
Notes Died in India, 07 July 1858
Record set Indian Mutiny Medal Roll 1857-1859
Category Military, armed forces & conflict
Subcategory Regimental & service records
-------------------------------------------

But the service records for Thomas Moore with service number 2349 shows that he was still in service after 1858 and wasn't discharged until 1868!
