Yes, Belgium is on the list of the countries officially noted as being 'Reichsdeutsche Jugend im Ausland' in the period
book from which I'm quoting. England, Ireland, Holland, Portugal, Switzerland, Luxemburg and Spain are also Western European and on the list but France is not. You seemed to want to know whether France was a possible origin for the triangle you showed and I approached my answer based on that premise.
Eupen and Malmedy were incorporated into the HJ on the 18th of May 1940. On the 12th of September in the same year the Deutsche Volksjugend Elsaß was incorporated into
Gebiet 21 Baden and the Lothringsche Jugend was incorporated into Gebiet 25 Saarpfalz (later Westmark)**
These dates are
after the introduction of the triangle in 1939* so if the Reichsdeutsche Jugend triangle was being worn prior to that in the french regions then I would really expect to see France or at least those parts of France mentioned above listed as being part of the Reichsdeutsche Jugend.
I'm thinking logically here. Yes, I would expect to see pictures of the Reichsdeutsche triangle being worn in Belgium as that country is on the list but not France as that country is not listed as a 'Kameradschaftsland'.
If your reference can assist further please don't hesitate to post it. You started this thread after all
* I don't have a reference showing the introduction date for the triangle but Joe would appear to have a source which says 1939.
** Das kommende Deutschland 1940.
Edit: these pics were posted later in this thread by Delatour but I've copied them to here too. Thanks Delatour
