French Humber Scout Car in Indochina

Hello to all,
I’m doing some research to build a French army Humber Scout Car used in Indochina.
The vehicles used by the French were initially British leftovers from the end of WWI and some were localy modified by addition of balistic shields then a turret with replacement of the armament.
Any information on the topic or builds that some might have done will be appreciated.
Cheers

Thanks!
Based on different photos I’ve found, the drawing seems inaccurate as Bren gun was replace by two (2) Rebeil machine guns (one in turret, one next to the driver) and the roof was modified and no longer had the hatches (front right and rear left).
