This is interesting. So Iceland was some kind of Dependency before 1874, after a Constitutional Dependency. After 1904 some executive government in the Dependency. 1918 is much more clearer, It was a Personal Union client state, with a similar arrangement to Canada or NZ to the UK. Then 1944 independence.
What we can determine, it was not an Inspectorate (military territory) like Greenland, nor a Colony nor a County nor an Overseas County. It had some unorganized status prior to 1918, unnamed title. Smaller imperial powers have a habit of not formalizing their territorial units. Even Denmark today doesn't have an official title for Faroe islands or Greenland, it's rather annoying.
