Is the last name of the coachbuilder shared with another personality of the automotive world ?

No, and I doubt this will lead to the solution in acceptable time. The name is not one of the most popular names, but not obscure either.

Well, in order to solve this one I spent a little money (I know, I am crazy) - I asked the Belgian National Library to scan the relevant pages of a Charleroi directory from 1929. Lo and behold :)
