Apparently, they are at the same time in the Public Domain
and under a Non-Commercial/Permission license, or at least
the current template claims so:
"this work is only available in the public domain under a
non-commercial and permission-based license"
Also, it claims that the images should be used "in accordance with
Wikipedia's fair use policy", but none of the 500+ images have any
fair-use rationale...

I think that is probably a mistranslation of original government text.
My guess is that it actually means 'this work is only available _to the
public_ under a non-commercial and permission-based license'. Not having
seen the original (and not being able to understand any language other
than English or /extremely/ basic French) I can't guarantee this however.
