I forgot the most important.
French AF use mainly MS 406; only very few MS 410 (improved version) flew before the end of campaign and probably not saw any action.
The difference between the two is the exhaust pipes and the fixed cooler unstead of the 406 mobile one.
In the picture it is a MS 410, more likely the Swiss Saurer version (looks like the 410).
Also the mistake is that Indian Head of GCII/5 should not be on this plane, because this formation was using Curtiss H 75 and not the MS 406 during 1939-1940 period!
