The Michelins were also seen on period pictures of early 3 ton 6x4 lorries (Guy, Leyland), on some RAF Fordsons and at least one Bedford MW. And I have also seen them fitted to monument 25pounders. Indeed it was also seen (and produced) post-war, on Panhard EBL's for instance, but my question remains.....was there a recent production run since the creation of the French PDF document? or are all recently restored wartime french vehicles fitted with old production tyres? Does anyone know?

The second picture you posted was a similar tread apparently sold by Vrakking in The Netherlands, but seems to be no longer available from them. Would be interested to learn if they were made recently.
Yes, it's a screendump from the PDF you posted and I also looked on the Vrakking site. Looks like a nice tyre to me, and price at the time was also reasonable! Maybe there is a nice Black friday deal to be had ;-)
