Here's an arcane question that perhaps someone might have an answer: On French cannons, there were covers for the muzzles and the sight supports, even the breechs. Anyone knows which colour and material woud be these covers?

Sounds reasonable. I'd guess the covers were grey - French artillery before the war was painted a neutral grey colour known (unsurprisingly) as "gris artillerie".
