Air France ATC Callsigns.

Hi all

I have noticed that some Air France ATC callsigns have recently become AF, as opposed to the usual ICAO callsign AFR.

I thought that only ICAO callsigns can be filed, not IATA?? And is the RT callsign the same? A couple of examples from today:

AF490MC LFPO-LFBZ A319 F-GRHD
AF850NE LFLL-LFBO A319 F-GRHG.


Thanks, I'm just curious.

(This is probably a question for anyone in Franch ATC as the flights in question appear to be domestic flights.)
