- This ship was labelled as Fuchs, but it seemed greatly different from the artillery training boat Fuchs which was converted from an old WW1 minesweeper. Any idea?

- The original author who posted it said the ship was MRS Paris, but it looked different. MRS-4 had two masts, while this one had 4. Could she be the similar MRS-3 Bali?
