Chris,
It's not a Gitane.
They never used Prugnat type 62D lugs: http://tinyurl.com/
The Super Corsa and earlier Tour de France models used Prugnat Type S
"Italian Style" lugs: http://tinyurl.com/
Later TdFs used Bocama Professional lugs.
Also Gitane never had wrap over seat stays nor did they use the diamond chainstay bridge reinforcements.
Most early Gitane SCs and TdFs came with Nervex Professional fork crowns which were later changed to Nervex DuBois crowns probably around 1972. At the height of the Bike Boom they also used a variety of Wagner crowns (maybe in the late 60s too).
