Looks like some relatively
easy fab work is in order.

Notice the differing
rear endbells.

I'm pretty sure it's because of the size. My fan is 10", and the other is 12"

I still remember this fan, it went on Ebay France many years ago, ended up being 3700 Euros.

This is an outstanding fan and far from common.   What a great addition to your collection and thank you for posting.

So Very Cool!

Those Martinot oscillators are so unusual. With the innovative engineering of those fans I have often wondered why a multi speed switch or even an on/off switch was not incorporated into the design. 

[Jeff Whitfield]

Look up at Jim Kovar's post, #3 I believe, and you'll see the speed resistor is the long, white snaky piece with asbestos wrapped around it.

[Terry Fisher]

You’re right on. Good observation Jeff.

Does anyone know if the hub on these early Martinot's were cast metal or aluminum?

All of mine are aluminum.
