"Theoretical and speculative" is what it is, certainly not a "project".

From the mentioned source:
"

Those 1941-42 vintage sketches are not aircraft manufacturers projects but concepts originated by the French Navy of what a dive-bomber should be. Note that the heavy weaponry in the nose make them anti-shipping aircraft like the Mosquito or the Ju 88 rather than true bombers . The lower sketch seems inspired by the SE 100 heavy fighter" ​
