All I know is that a major french avaiation comapny and former auto
manufactures is called Snecma Moteurs
They speicalise currently in jet and rocket engines- I susspect that
(depending on the vehicle you found the plate on) they were a defense
contractor for French govt re-building or converting military vehicles in
the 1960's.
Hope this helps, NIGE
