No

You were actually close enough with that earlier guess that I couldn't decide whether to provide guidance or just respond with "No." As you can tell, I'm now having second thoughts about my decision.  ;)

I was referring to another one in the same neighborhood. ;)

Matford?
Close enough. Matford was finished by then and Ford had a plant in Poissy where it produced its own vehicles under the name Ford SAF (Société Anonyme Française). But either way, you're correct that this bus was built on a French Ford chassis.

Coachbuilder?

Yeah, Ford SAF would have been my next guess.  I will work on the coachbuilder.
