In the original French verison what words were used for the coded morse code messages Tintin picks up on his short wave radio?

In the English translation one of them in Yokohama, which Tintin speculats that the transmission has a Japanese source.

The first message which he intercepts in India is:

"RRCQ 15.30
Entre voie Yokohama ns maison r Charles André dimanche seul aligner écran ou tentures serpent marchera inévitablement e proche occident halte intrus e"

The second which he intercepts with Wang in China is:

"cercle solaire irlandais direct x hémisphère uranus est long tube s blanc eugène"
