Yes, locked for you to add the model designation of the chassis.

....well please unlock.  If it's not type G, it could be only type F 17cv;....Grégoire's "Toutes mes Automobiles" has it as type G!

No, I won't let you go so close to the answer.  ;)
My source tells me that the chassis was supplied to Letourneur & Marchand in July 1930, so it can't be a Type G which made its first appearance in 1931 at the Paris salon. It's not a Type F either, so what is left?

Still locked for you.

So it's a type E 15cv!......but they stuck an F/G grille on it.  What I would dearly like to know is what became of the Fenailles?  I have minimal evidence that Pierre survived until 1957, but that's it.

Yes, according to Dominique Pagneux's book about Letourneur & Marchand the chassis was a Type E, chassis number 1005.
