In several of Jean Cunys drawings of french projects, an air-to-air missile is shown.
To my opinion, it's not the Matra M.04 (smaller fins at the tail), nor the R.510/511
(no cruciform fins) or one of the Nord types. So, relates this type to an actual built
or at least designed missile,or is it just, "what an AA-missile could look like" ?

It is shown on the SE 212C and on the MS.1001. Maybe its a variant of
the AA.30, but this had larger, triangular shaped fins and a sleeker
fuselage.

The only French air-to-air missile of the time that resembles (a little) this drawing is the Matra R.052 (see photo attached).
