You're probably looking for IDirect3DDevice2::SetLightState() with
D3DLIGHTSTATE_MATERIAL.

You pretty much need need the DirectX SDKs for those early ddraw
versions. They may still be archived somewhere, but yes, this is
somewhat of a problem when working on ddraw. In some cases the
existing ddraw code is also a good reference for how things roughly
work, but especially the early versions are probably not quite
correct.
