Some of the recordings that I have heard where the bassoons might have been expected to be French style (for example, the Sourcer's Apprentice by a French orchestra) seem to have a lighter, less reedy quality. But, that's just supposition on my part, and it could be that I'm reading more into what I hear than I should.
The German clarinet is different than the French style Boehm horns, no doubt about that. I've read that a different cut/style reed is in order, but little more than that.
