Simon,
Possibly. There's no match that I'm aware of in BVLAS or Lloyd's War Loses, including the missing section. Thus, more/most likely French and possibly damaged only.
Don't know if Oliver looked for thid vessel or not when he researched the sinking of the NONNI. If not, if you have a vessel name, can ask my contacts to take a look at the British files at TNA on attacks on merchant shipping for details. (Given the location of the attack, I would suspect the vessel was towed for a British port. Even if towed to a French port, the Royal Navy should have received a copy of the description of the action).
Best wishes,
Michael
