Ops...it actually seems to be the same van, or one of its brothers, but I have a picture of the metal plate fixed on the quiz vehicle...and it carries another coachbuilder name.

I can't understand your question...anyway I'm trying to check if that plate is affordable or not. A closer look to your picture can reveal some little differences (position of front lights, two side windows instead one, foot-step missing, bigger profile) but windscreen line, front bumper and other things are really similar, so I think that there must a connection.

These two trucks seem to me to be different.  Anyway I couldn't find the coachbuilder of the Suze truck, with its additional side window.  I'm stuck.

I understood that the Suze's van was an Antem, and you were surprised that the answer was not the one I was searching, because they look very similar. Perhaps they are both a job of my obscure name.

I don't know who was the coachbuilder of the the Suze  van.  I just said Antem because Antem bodied another truck. And I tried Besset because there is a very similar looking bus.  But I'm afraid at guessing an obscure coachbuilder because i don't have the slightest ideau of which way to go.

BTW If it's not Antem, Heuliez or Besset and if it's a Citroën truck, then it's bodied by Marcel Breuil  Thanks to Google negative Search !

Correct, It's indeed a Citroen by Marcel Breuil, 108 Faub.de Paris, Limoges.  I add the picture of the metal logo.
