All sorts of interesting things transpire such as that they seem to call Crawlers "chenillards" which with Google translate translates to "chaser" - I wonder what is the origin of that nomenclature. One poster thought it was a St Chamond - there are quite a few references to this type of tractor, so it must have been quite a well known make there. Apparently they used to make tanks in WW1.
Here's what one helpful French poster had to say (in French with my Google translation below
