Have it as the needle-nosed "R" version of the CL-41...

Oh yes. That nose.
Reminded me of Cleopatra's nose in Asterix!

Well done, Graeme - your turn

Could be anything, literally.
The cabin looks like 1940s design, from the size (5 or 6 seats per row) something like a Lockheed Constellation, but the windows don't match.
Could be a seaplane.
Or a commercial shot of a cabin prototype for something that never flew.
As I said: Could be anything.

Yeah probably it is - as Google says: http://airliner.narod.ru/airliners1948-60/sncase2010.htm
However... that's been a Google quest then.

Hadn't found that one.
My Russian isn't exactly up to scratch either

But you don't want to tell me that you knew the answer off the top of your head either, hopefully.
So you could have had a book with that particular picture in it.
Mind if I doubt that too? 8)

No, I don't have a book on that particular subject.
But I did use Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Airliners_1950%E2%80%931959

I went through the American ones, then the British ones, and then French.
Note that the French section doesn't mention The Armagnac.
It was then that the name popped up in my head. I have seen it before, and it does have a personality of its own.
Led me to this picture:
