I knwo for a fact it isn't taken during the war or emergencey years ..possibly in late 1945 or early 1946.
the Free French navy flew the Cross of Lorraine during the war period as its 'jack'.
Under the rules governing neutrality and ships ..only ships requiring emergency repairs could visit neutral ports but not repairs inorder to increase fighting capacity.
Its fairly safe that this visit took place after the War !
