I haven't been able to locate those distinctive wings, but might this be a Lorraine-Dietrich from about 1907?

No - the make is quite obscure...

It's a 1908 Ours-Lynton, driver is Monsieur Tourgelet.

Correct!

I wonder if that are just wheel covers or a kind of experimental elastic wheels...

The latter, the picture was taken at the Concours de roues et bandages élastiques.
