I think this is a crane from second generation of Potain cranes.First generation didn`t have double spanned jib which was also more massive and the slewing ring was more similar to the early Pignon cranes.Also the cabin for operators were located on rotating part of the crane after 1962.
Thanks for the photos!

The previous generation was as you say. Potain cranes with thin jib and two tie-bar appeared in the early 60's. But models with the cab integrated to the mast section were produced also after 1962, for what is now called "city cranes" : 426, 427, 428... From the middle of the 70's, all Potain towercranes were produced with the cab over the slewing ring.
