ACTIF - Remorqueur de 600 CV
- Documents communs à : LAVANDOU - PALMIER ET TATIHOU
- Groupes motoventilateurs de 5000 m³/h
1939 - Ensemble - rechange

ACTIF - Remorqueur de mer de 1000 CV
- A 707 - 1954 R.21056
- Projet d'un dispositif de mouillage et relevage des
mines d'exercice
- Document commun aux : CEPET, COTENTIN et TEBESSA
- Groupe motopompe de circulation
- Notice pour la conduite et l'entretien


And indeed, loonking again on the plans, you can read a date with "54" (1954), but it's not readable at first glance.

So, it is another ship... Actif is a very common word in french to design ships. It might be the same ship but with a new and more powerful engine, but I really don't think so.

It is the sentence "Projet d'un dispositif de mouillage et relevage des mines d'exercice" which drew my attention, because I had already read it on the plans I have.
Hmm, look here:

From what I can decipher from it "Actif" is also a name for an entire series of tugs, some of them built during and some after WW2 - and indeed ship on the photo resembles yours. So you might be modeling a ship from right time period for the game after all
