Dear suewilma,

Since this is not exactly what you requested, I ask you before posting
an answer. From my former hobby - I used to be a railway fan - I know
that the uniform caps of the French State Railways (SNCF) remained
unchanged from 1938 to 1969. I have found a site featuring 17 pictures
of SNCF caps from the year 1950, of the same type and with the same
insignia as used during World War II and the post-war years. Would you
accept those pictures as an answer?

Regards,
Scriptor

Dear suewilma,

Here are images of French railway uniform caps, as they were in use
between 1938 and 1969.

The following links to pictures of uniform caps derive from the French
website "Collection des casquettes SNCF de 1950 a nos jours"
(Collection of SNCF caps from 1950 to the present day):

Ranks 1 to 6
http://monsite.wanadoo.fr/casquette_sncf/page1.html

Ranks 6L to 12
http://monsite.wanadoo.fr/casquette_sncf/page2.html

Ranks 12L to 19, Chef de Gare (Station Master), Contrôleur
(Conductor), Pompier (Firefighter)
http://monsite.wanadoo.fr/casquette_sncf/page3.html


In addition, here is a photo from the website "Les casquettes des
chemins de fer" (Railway caps):
