I have a rules question about Midianite Camels (2 W/B). Cavalry charging camels is disordered prior to contact. If the cavalry is shot for 3 CPF (disordering it), does the cavalry take a morale test for a second cause of disorder from combat?

Let me clarify: It would seem that if cavalry charged, became disordered at 80 paces, and then got support shot (and/or HTH) casualties of 3 per, those two events would not be simultaneous, and the second cause of disorder being form combat, they would test. We're okay so far.

But take this case: The camels shoot the cav up at 3 cpf in PREP shooting. The camels then charge the cav and the cav are disordered at 80 paces away. Now in that situation the cav would not test just for the smell of camels because the second disorder is not combat caused, correct? If the camels do 3 cpf in hth and support shooting combined, then they would test because that is combat caused, right?
