@Guinessisgoodforyou - looking over that MBK again, the part you would expect by default to be Mafac is a Campag & Dia-Compe combo. The frame has been modified for allen key brake fittings too (I'm 99.9% sure this was not done in 1974). Thinking out loud, I'm wondering if this frame was originally for 700c? Just look where the brake blocks are on the already long reach arms.

Yes, sorry @Woz this is a 650b conversion.
 
Twin laterals! TWIN LATERALS! And an even better example than the last one where I deducted a few points due to it not directly connecting to dropouts. This is very nice. How much would something like this go for in those forbidden circles I don't frequent?

Probably about 200 € or more. If you can live without the top-tube, about 30 € :p
