A 3-view and little text are in the Trait d'Union N°172 of 1997. I may scan and post them if you have no access to this collection.

I translate the French text, as a start:
"Designed in 1937, the Br 800 was a reco float-plane with three seats and two floats. With a span of 16m, it was single-engined Gnôme-Rhone 14 M4 of 680hp. Using a Hispano 12 Xirs-1 engine of 690hp, it became Br 801. The Br 802 seems to be a variant, unknown, while the Br 803 was twin-boom (holding tail), also with two floats, and with a pusher engine Hispano 12 Xirs-1. None of these machines has been built."

In the same Trait d'Union issue, an unconfirmed variant of the Br 800 (maybe Br 802?):

Zooming as much as I can on the data (difficult to read, sorry):

...thanks Tophe

Just a quick and dirty imagination of the Br.801 (sorry, the best I could
do in the moment). A contender to the Laté 298 maybe ?

 

[toura]

Thanks, JENS

 

[Tophe]

;D Yes, thanks for the (possible) 802. Drawing the twin-boom pusher 803 would be even more difficult...

Dear Lark found this picture of the Br 800 (wind tunnel model):
- from what seems to be "Aviation Magazine" 15 October 1964 -

My dear Jemiba,

the Br.801 as you displayed it,I think it was for 1937 in order to
meet a French Navy requirement for a light catapult-launched
observation aircraft,the main tenders were; Gourdou G-120 and
Dewoitine HD.730.

A clearer view to the same drawing.

Some extracts of original blueprints of Breguet 800, 801/802 and 803.
The differences between Breguet 801 and 802 are mainly in the position of the engines (dotted line for the model 802).
