"specifications subject to change..." never had so much truth as when it came to Gitanes of the bike boom era! You can find TdF models built with 3 different dropouts all within a year or 2 of each other, as well as different stay cap "treatments"...vive le difference...but I'd say this is a TdF without doubt, just one you have to use with a "claw" style RD, which actually might be seen as a plus!
