<<Whoops, that should be ["R6U?] and [Ru?] above.>>

Are you going French?

No, it's just that my dialect has a uvular approximant (which might be slightly fricative at times) for a rhotic except after coronals and sometimes after labials. Such has nothing at all to do with French, and if it were linked to outside influence, that'd be German influence anyways.

I just associate [R] with French.

Note that French has a voiced uvular fricative, more specificlally stated as [R_r], or in some dialects a voiceless uvular fricative [X], whereas what I have is not the same, being a uvular approximant [R_o].
