How about a picture with the grips on it?
Pretty cool. The French have a long history of dealing with Ruger. They purchased Mini-14's and other firearms from them.

OP
The gun came with Traush grips/

It shows no sign of being dropped, which is typically expected of French guns.
The Traush grips are great. I got them on a French police surplus Model 10 I bought a couple of years ago. They're ugly, but they're ergonomically excellent, IMHO.

SO, that sheet metal dingleberry on the grip stud....
Is that the lanyard-ring, of a sort?

Yes, they had lanyards. I have a 3" 64 that had a lanyard on it. It came from the French Railroad Police.
OP
The grip frame has been milled to allow the flat piece of metal to extend through the Traush grip tp make an attachment point for a lanyard to attach. The piece of metal in held in the grip frame by a large roll pin.
