Jan,
Let me add to your confusion. I have fixed the second link in my previous post and you will see that the decree refers to radio installations in aircraft, which is why it uses the generic 'registration'. There are no registration marks on a French microlight, only identification marks. That is why they have an ID card instead of a certificate of registration.
The callsign is attached to a single aircraft. If that decree didn't convince you, search for images of ULM radio licences online. I was refused an LSA for my Chaser,28FY, because the ICOM handheld was sourced in the UK, instead of France. I obtained a certificate from ICOM Japan stating the my radio was idententical to the FR model, but the DGAC wouldn't budge.
