Every bassoon I have ever actually seen was of the Heckel system and my Lafleur is of the same design. I have never seen a French style bassoon, but understand there are significant differences in the keying system, somewhat similar to the way an Albert system clarinet differs from one with the Boehm system.
As for who made this thing, I have no clue, but it is quite possible that it was stenciled by one of the French makers, as I don't think B&H had a plant in France. Maybe our UK (or French) members on this board might know a little more about B&H history, or have knowledgeable acquaintenances over there from whom they might glean some information on the French made Lafleur.
