Came across a reference to this company, which is based in a place called Creil. The source said that it made turrets for the FT, which is news to me. Then I found this quote from Michel (Tanker): "Pour les curieux, les chassis de FT, montés à l'usine Billancourt, étaient fabriqués à l'usine Daydé de Creile t les toles, pas l'usine Fichet (aussi de Creil)."
Fichet obviously played some part, but I'm not sure what. I find some of the info a bit ambiguous. Anybody help?
Fichet, btw, are still in existence. They make safes.

Our FT turret is Fichet. They had a contract for the polygonal turrets. They became Fichet Bauche in 1967. Spoke to them when we were restoring the FT but not interested.
