It was in service at the same time as the Bf-109 and the Spitfire.

Usually, the bombardier's station is a glazed portion of the nose. This one appears to have a bombardier's porch. As they say, there's a right way, a wrong way, and a French way, (Although the latter two are often synonymous.)

Interestingly I'm an architect. If you look at Le Corbusier sketches he was very much influenced by aeroplane aesthetics
