Any way to tell what period these jumpwings are from? Anyone have pointers in how to date French jumpwings in general?

Hard to tell, but since its missing the numerization its probably a repro production or replacement production....

Absolutely not reproduction, these have a nice patina and have obviously been worn so I guess a replacement set could possible.

The makers hallmarks should be able to help narrow it down. I know with Drago there were different hallmarks at different times. I feel reasonably safe in saying that there were none until at least 1946 or so. It wasn't until around then that the French started their own airborne program.
