No, these two photos are not inside Guy François' article.
Thanks for the extra info Michel!
Sorry, I didn't make myself clear earlier, I meant 'out-takes' in the movie-editing sense of 'a scene not in the film because it was cut and ends up on the cutting-room floor' because your images looked like they were taken around the same time as a photo on p.51 of GBM No. 98, so I was guessing that maybe Guy Francois had seen them but had not included them (presumably for reasons of space).

Well, they're new to me - thanks to Tanker/Michel of this parish, I went to a French forum and found these beauties (on a thread that appears to be by him) which I think may be 'out-takes' from the magnificent GBM No. 98 article...
Nice, thanks for posting. Seems ironic that FCM should design a pretty modern looking tank, then actually produce the older-fashioned 2C! Although the 2C is a more handsome shape.
Wonder what the frame/gantry in the second pic was for - apart from a great photo opp. of course.
Is the frame in pic 2 a gantry that they've just used to frame the tank? Or is it a railway width gauge? It seems to be designed to run on rails of some kind.
