Question about postwar use of A-20 Havoc / Boston by Armee de l'Air

Many sources cite French use of their Bostons until 1953. Does anyone know whether these Bostons in the French Air Force served in any role outside of France, in any capacity, and specifically in one of the colonies, such as Indochine, Algeria and/or Africa, (even if they flew in one time )?? Does anyone know if the postwar Bostons retained their olive drab color scheme? I know the Soviets kept their A-20Gs active until 1950–the US Navy shot down one on 9/15/50 as it approached the US Fleet near Inchon.

Thank you for any response or reference.
