I'm pretty sure Janssen riding for the Pelforth team used Sauvage-Lejeune bikes - at least in early years. And, I seem to remember him still riding a red bike at a later point... so maybe Lejeune?

Don't think so... Janssen doesn't show in any Peugeot rosters I have during this era (I always associate him with the Bic team which was Gitane wasn't it?) and the machine he won the '68 TdF (riding for the Dutch national team) is not a PX-10 or least doesn't have the distinctive chrome fork ends etc. Anyway, Peugeot made no claim for the victory!
