Sorry, Joao, I couldn't resist to jump in.  ;)

Joao - it certainly seems to be the same car so it is an enigma!
I'll try to find out more but in the meantime I'll give you a point as you may well be correct too.

C'mon guys! It's a game,no problem.

woodinsight : Drouet & Gaucher was just a guess at the time, not an affirmation. So..it's bodied by Bicot & Bonnichon.

Please, remove the point.
