Does anyone know about Motobecane making a frame with elliptical tubes? Something that would fit this sort of seat post..

Possibly a Motobecane Profil 3 circa 1982/4 (this is the one with Shimano 600). They made a cheaper version (Profil or Profil 1) that had the Adamas AX components and a 2040 tubed frame. I think there was a Profil 2 that may have had Mavic. Funky bikes ... (and why did that guy throw away those wheels?)
