It's not wrote that the "odd design" was designed "with" SFAN, but that the Billioque anti-twist system canard was tried by M. Billioque "on a" SFAN before WW2. The "odd design" was probably foreseen for the next step (maybe with SFAN), probably after WW2, but nothing (year, builder) is said about this "odd design" in the text. It's only wrote under the "odd design" that it's a model built with the "Billioque" canard.

OK,and thank you my dear Deltafan.

Hi,

I can't see any propulsion,was it a glider ?.

The model has a pusher prop just behind the trailing edge. The drawing, to my opinion, is
just a generic sketch to show the function of the foreplane.

Is the canard pivoted around a vertical hinge axis?

If wee see the model and the drawings, it seems that yes.
