Marks on products are put there to meet regulatory requirements, and to make them more likely to sell.
I have items marked in various languages, some marked in English, some in Spanish, and some in French. Others in Russian (using Cyrillic letters).
Different companies mark things in various ways based on their markets or even tradition. Lots of AKMs were build for export, and if marked in English, someone could get an explaination. In particular, Africa has many English speakers, a legacy of the colonial days.
Military material is often designed for many end uses. I have no doubt that many T-72s in russia have french parts. Some M-1s in the US have parts from foreign countries, particularly the early versions made before all suppliers had their US operations up and running.
If these found to be true than the Coalition Forces should find themselves very lucky not to become the victim of advance French armor technology.
The French armor technology has long been feared by their excellent hunter-killer capability which the system can track some targets and engage a few simutaniously, much like a fighter plane. And if Iraqi has use this system I bet they can cause some serious damage even they’re using monkey models and incorrect tactic.
