Being in the Civil Defence involved many other tasks rather than just air raid patrol.
They were volunteers but got paid £3 a week I believe.

Would I be right in thinking the air raid wardens would have a whistle on the end of their lanyards?

I've never seen the Homeguard in (french) berets or wearing white lanyards over their shoulders. 
They wore the same style headgear caps worn by the regular army at that time.
Here's a link to a homeguard photo which shows the standard uniform and there's plenty more images and links on rootschat.

Good luck with your search.
