[OOC: Commander of the RFG gives no favours and the SPs and Pay are exactly the same as in the Rank/Regiment table under section 18.40. It seems clear that, although appointed by the Royal Governor of Paris, it is actually a rank alongside which a 'real' appointment may be held.
Also, there is no specific date for the appointment, which implies that the Royal Governor of Paris can appoint/replace the RFG Colonel at will. In any event, the appointment of a new Governor / accession of a new King seems an obvious time for a new man at the RFG helm... ]
Yes on the first.
October makes sense on the second. Hulluame has pointed out that it's the month after the Governor is appointed.

Maréchal de Camp le Vicomte Roland Gorne, Sieur de Graville, Milly etc., Royal Governor of Paris, to Captain le Baron Huillaume Lagarde de Bearne, OC 4th Company Royal Foot Guards, Director of the Lottery, Greetings! Mon Cher Huillaume, Helen and I must tender our most heartfelt congratulations regarding your engagement to the lovely Emelin. Please let us know the date of the wedding as soon as it is decided so that we may do our utmost to attend. In fact, I find myself in a position to offer my Best Man an early wedding present! As may have escaped your notice thanks to the furore over King Louis' sudden death, I have been appointed Royal Governor of Paris. (I would have preferred a governorship a little less in the public eye - Provence for example - but no matter). One of my duties is to appoint the commander of the Royal Foot Guards and, needless to say, a request from you to this effect would be treated most favourably. The current incumbent can hardly be considered competent in the wake of having His Majesty die right under his nose and a 'request' for his immediate resignation has already been dispatched to him. My duties also include judging all Low and Minor Civil crimes which occur in the Ile de France. Needless to say, should my Best Man have the misfortune to appear before me in such circumstances a dreadful mistake will immediately be assumed to have taken place. In finishing I must let you know that Helen and myself wish you every happiness in your forthcoming marriage to Emelin and look forward to welcoming you both back to Court.

Lady Helen Gorne-Bacque, Vicomtesse de Graville, Baronne de Milly, to Her Most Christian Majesty Anne, Princess of Austria and by the Grace of God, of the Kingdom of France and of His Majesty's other Realms and Territories, Queen Dowager, Greetings! Your Majesty, Let me take this opportunity to convey my deepest sympathy regards the untimely demise of King Louis. May God have mercy upon His soul and bless and keep Your Majesty through this difficult time. The position of Principal of Madame Duschene's Academy of Social Graces falls vacant this month and I would be honoured if Your Majesty might consider me for the post. I have studied both Etiquette and Dancing at the Academy to such an extent that I am now deemed competent to teach in both subjects. In addition, thanks to being eligible to attend the Royal Court I am ideally placed to keep track of any changes of fashion so as to ensure that students of the Academy are instructed in the most current useage. I sincerely hope that Your Majesty will look favourably on my humble request and declare myself to be Your Majesty's Most Loyal and Devoted Subject, Lady Helen Gorne-Bacque
Vicomtesse de Graville
