Thanks, Simon.
Might try the process is for doing it the other way around: Getting a CASA GPL through the FAA one. Is there a Commercial GPL? According to the (insert explicative here) manual, a plastic card licence is not ICAO compliant. Would imagine the FAA card especially out of compliance without a photo and the condition:
ENGLISH PR   CIE T
(it's a bit worn out)
This thread is a good reminder that my CASA Special Pilot Licence has an old photo, but not taken when I was ten. Obtaining the SPL was user-friendly, and ready in two days. The ASIC badge took longer.

Take a holiday at St Auban, practice a few circuit type radio calls EN

compliant LICENSE, with photo etc etc.
The yanks will recognise that,
In the mean time good flying, beautiful scenery, good food good wine,  what a 
comparison!!
They’ll “recognize” that in the same way they recognize an Australian Part 61 
license, in that the FAA will make you jump through the same hoops to turn it 
into an American one before you can fly an N-registered glider.

Now that CASA offers an ICAO-compliant Glider Pilot License, other ICAO 
contracting states are likely to defer to them for license equivalency. You may 
find that France is less accommodating now than it was a year ago (and if they 
haven’t changed yet, just give them time…)
