Noblet C plateau clarinet

Hi,
I was haunting the web's online trading spaces and found on Gumtree a plateau clarinet listed as an 'Noblet Eb'. The very great price, great looking condition and my opened-minded view of plateau keywork (I mostly play sax and flute) led me to purchase it (in a snap!).

While waiting for its delivery closer observations of the supplied photos led me to believe it was not an Eb at but either a D or C instrument.

When it arrived its pitch obvious. A very mint condition, all wood parts, a custom model 45 (or 50?) in C with full plateau keywork. Serial A10795 apparently is around 1970?

I say "a custom model 45 or 50" because I can see Noblet made the 45 in C but the plateau model 50 was only advertised in Bb and Eb.

Has anyone ever seen or read of a plateau C Noblet?
