It's definately a French model & not an American one, but unfortunately there's very little information out there about them.
I did copy this pamphlet (off Ebay I think) which shows the Model 32 on a matching record cabinet. I guess yours was on the other side. If my memory is correct, the pamphlet dated from around 1914-15.

i am not sure, i dont understand the principle of the numbering. in the french catalog of 1914 are: external horns: pathephone no 2, 4, 120, 180, internal: pathephone 28, 36, reflex pathephone 14, 15, 19, 23, 25, A, concert 1, 3. what is the logic in the numbering? how are in the same time no 2. and 280? where are the other types? if i see the series: 23,25 are reflex, 28 not, probably is the set to 26 or 27 reflex, after that normal gramophone? if yes, where are the tipes from 28 to 36? probably are some type numbers only for export?
