Hi, I know Osprey publish a Men-at-Arms book on the Spanish Foreign Legion which I guess would cover the period of the Rif War.

The osprey book is good on the participation of the Legion but has nothing on the french or Rifs . The first quarter of the book is dedicated to the Rif war and there is one colour plate and text covering legion uniforms of the period . Our friends beneath the sands by Martin Windrow has detail on the french participation but no uniform info although various Osprey books cover uniforms of the French Foreign Legion

Steven's Balagan contains a painting guide for the Rif Wars

Too Fat Lardies publish Wargamers Guide to the Rif War by Richard Baber

Otherwise you are looking rare and expense sources such as the work of Jose Maria Bueno or Edwin Herbert's Risings and Rebellions 1919-39 (Wargames Foundry)

It might be out of print, but Risings and Rebellions: 1919 to 1939 by Edwin Herbert, published by Wargames Foundry, has a couple of chapters on the Rif War, covering both the Spanish and French campaigns.  Good luck finding a copy!
