I think that Corsican military ranks would show a net difference from French ones, but I also think Corsican leaders would carefully avoid any resemblance with Italian ranks, too.
Maybe Corsican rank insignia would be a sort of compromise, chosing a German-looking officer rank set, which is based on Italia/Spanish rank system*, while for enlisted ranks a Corsican army may show an US-based system.
Elements employed may be the Corsican (and Sardinian) symbol, the Maure, as well as a six-pointed star, or a sort of pip. For NCOs and enlisted personnel, chevrons would be "perfect".
I'll try to draw such a rank chart.
* The system I name "Italian/Spanish", after officer insignia system used by the Italian Army through its history, is simply the system which uses the same element repeated 1 to 3 times (for example a star) from 2nd Lieutenant to Captain and again for field officers adding another element which is considered as being equal to the captain value (for example Italian field officers have a Corona turrita, which adds a value of 3 to the basic element - a star again: so an insignia showing a Corona turrita and three stars is 6 (3+3), and it is worn by a Colonel).
