Trust me, when they ask for a 'carte grise' - french slang for 'pink slip' or 'logbook' - in the Sahara (and at every border they do), the UK VRD or equivalent vehicle ownership papers is what they want to see - it is the 'passport' for your vehicle.
Like the IDP, which I've shown once in 20 years, the internatinal certificate is unknown (i'd never even heard if it), though if the details are in french, it could be handy.
Me, I highlight the vehicle's registration number and chassis number or 'VIN' with a marker pen - it is these numbers they are looking for, along with the other more easily read info like make, model and cc.
