Merci beacoup MLF,

your help and the kind support of the French authorities that you have been in touch with, are invaluable!

Summing up:
  • 1911:
    • tower color not specified
    • steady green light

    (source: Jean-Cristophe Fichou, Les Phares de France (website)).

  • 1922:
    • tower painted red
    • green light, period not specified

    (source: notice by the Subdivision des phares et balises de Brest)

  • 1950:
    • dark tower (black or red? Maybe fouling/seaweed at the bottom?) with a central light band (white or yellow?)
    • light color and period not specified

    (source: picture by the Service de l'Inventaire du Patrimoine Culturel Direction du Tourisme, du Patrimoine et des Voies navigables, another picture posted by Kendras (year unknown))

All in all, I think I will opt for the red tower and green steady light configuration, i.e. the best documented, though it might have changed before the outbreak of the war...

Any thoughts?
