It is a PX 10. I suspect Hibell's bike was also French made; at least the crank looks like a Stronglight. It was hard to put a rack on most competition bikes, but the older Blackburn racks worked pretty well. The good thing was that most bikes in that era had eyelets for fenders, even those ridden in the TDF.
It just used the rear brake bridge for support. I think this might have been more stable that Hibell's setup, and should have been available at the time.
This was on my wife's Gitane from about the same era.
