It is a one-off.
Thanks, Addrien.
Here is a more recent contraption:
LGL would be Loire-Gourdou-Leseurre.
They reportedly designed a flying boat Type M2, but I have no photo of it.
Thank you, Ivan. Indeed S-40 being the type du Service des Fabrications de l’Aviation makes sense and solves the mystery.
