I've overhauled a few clarinets labelled M. Lacroix (a couple of Bb and one A soprano, as well as a bass) and all were thoroughly modern, standard Boehm instruments with a full complement of keys (in fact, one of the Bb clarinets was a 'full-Boehm" instrument) -- so no clue as to your 'simplified' clarinet. A few photos would be helpful. I believe I read somewhere that "M. Lacroix" was a brand applied by a distributor to various French-made clarinets imported into the US during the 1940s or so, but I'm not sure of that.
