From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armee_d%27_Afrique "At the outbreak of war in August 1914, the Army of Africa in Algeria and Tunisia comprised nine regiments of Algerian Tirailleurs, four of Zouaves, six of Chasseurs d'Afrique, four of Spahis and two of the Foreign Legion. In Morocco nineteen battalions of Tirailleurs and nine of Zouaves were on active service, along with elements of the Foreign Legion and the African Light Infantry. Large numbers of these troops were sent immediately to serve in France, mainly drawn from the peacetime garrisons of Algeria and Tunisia."

Thanks so much mad frog1, for the link to this great site. The uniform worn by the infantrymen in the post cards is a closer match to the one in this photo, including the embroidered piece on the front of the jacket, than the Office of War Information photo that we have in our catalog: www.loc.gov/pictures/item/owi2001046305/PP/. Thanks also to swanq, for providing information about their involvement in the war. We'll clarify the information in the record the next time we update.
