WWII French Army Trousers??

[SaturdayMarketplace]

I came across these military trousers while browsing a small thrift. They are in EXCELLENT condition! I am looking for more information about them, as I don't know much about military clothing, let alone from another country. My best guess (and Google lens) is sometime 1940s-60s French Army Trousers? I could be very wrong though!

I would appreciate your help in determining an approx. date manufactured, what any of the stamps/writing mean, and any other history related to them.

Thank you so much!

I don't know, but I suspect the BP ink stamp is a date '20, June 1952', so postwar.

I was guessing that might be the date, but wasn't sure. That's definitely a start.
Thank you!

Not sure why you commented with "Delete".... Did I violate any terms or conditions?

I think it was just a typo - they were probably trying to delete their own comment.

No, I should have written "deleted" to indicate I had deleted what I had written, my mistake.

I agree that the stamped number quite likely indicates 1952.
From what I recall (when I had some vintage American military garments), the US incorporates the date into some stamped or printed numbers in the garment, too.
What a cool find!
