Correct, Geoff, although there are lots of differences between the two images. My photo is actually the R6V with a figure 8 fuselage, different tail and cockpit windows from the one in your photo. Only two R6V's were built. They were underpowered and considered too large. Here is a photo of one beside a Lockheed 12A Electra for size comparison.

The Breguet Deux Pont ( two bridges ) , was also a double decker and saw service with Air France . I remember seeing them in the 60's in the UK ..

The Air France aircraft had accommodation for 59 passengers on the top deck, and 48 on the lower deck, although the aircraft was capable of carrying 135 passengers in a high-density layout.[1] During 1964 Air France transferred six Br.763s to the French Air Force. The air force also acquired the three pre-production Br.761S aircraft and four new Br.765 Sahara freighter aircraft with removable cargo doors.
