    How many times does the venerable "soixante-quinze" need to be listed? :D

    Hawk 75A

    MS-406

    No French light bomber, such as a Breguet 693?

    MAC-1924
    The designation is "FM 24/29" (or "fusil-mitrailleur mle 1924 m. 1929")

    MAS-1907 15 M16
    It wasn't a MAS design, AFAIK.

    MAS-36 sniper
    I don't think such combination ever existed. The postwar FSA MAS 49 was sometimes fitted with a scope, but for the 1940 time frame, the Lebel seems to be the only choice:

    No French AA gun either? Unless the Oerlikon is listed as such.

  2. "Bataille Char B1 Bis" -> should be either "Char de bataille B1 bis" or "Char B1 bis"

    "Hotchkis H35" -> should be "Hotchkiss H35"

    Well that depends. If you want to go with the full, official designations you'd get something like:

    char léger mle 1935 R

    char léger mle 1935 H

    char de bataille B1 bis

    automitrailleuse de combat mle 1935 S

    automitrailleuse de reconnaissance mle 1935

    etc, etc. A bit verbose IMHO. Personally, I'd use the short designations

    R35

    H35

    B1 bis

    S35

    AMR 35

    But if the B1 bis is called a "char" then every infantry tank should.

    I guess these pics are named by the city or town they were taken near? I recognized alot of the names.
    No, it's the individual tank's name. B1 bises were christened like warships.
