I've already met this coach bus but can't remember where. Should dig further in my documentations.
Might be based upon Citroën 45 or 55 chassis :think:

I've found it in my book 'Les autocars Isobloc' Nicolas Tellier, Editions E-T-A-I 1998.
Citroën Type 45B Carrosserie J.Besset delivered new in 1949 to ''Les Cars Européens'' Clichy sous Bois (93).
Besset built several of them on Citroën T45 chassis and Saurer 3CT 1D, possibly some other chassis.
