Not sure I would believe that.
This is a tiny bit weird.
On Velobase the Cyclo Benelux and Simplex shifters have the long rod with a knob on the top which is near the seat tube.
This one on Ebay (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/296212780669) looks more like a Huret but is definitely marked "Cyclo made in France"

Velobase Huret:


Ebay "Cyclo made in France"




The Ebay one (and 3 like it) are around £45.
Seems to me I should avoid them, but they do look like a Cyclo copy of the Huret.
