I figured that much. My point, which I admittedly did not make clear,
was which spelling is used on French (effectively Alsatian in this
case) labels versus what is used on German labels. I suspect your
answer applies in either case.

Is any GW made in Austria? If it is, I suspect the umlaut is used
there also.
