Bonjour Maitre Ben,
The two Freres Huret pages posted above come from the manufacturer's publication of 1969. Do not have start/stop dates for the products shown.
This would seem to put them right at the peak of the Sting Ray / Orange Krate phenomenon.

As all dedicated C&V enthusiasts know only too well, by far the most famous/notorious of the shift levers of this sort is the Elefante as perpetrated by Tullio & Co. It is item Nr. 3360.
