Looks like a Tour de France model of 1946-54. "The Dancing Chain" states:
Simplex changed derailleur names frequently. Identifying and dating Simplex derailleurs vexes today's historians and collectors. Simplex sometimes tacked a number onto the name to denote the year of first manufacture. Dozens of slightly different rear derailleurs were called Champion de Monde (World Champion) or Tour de France."
