Klaus,
Miraphone manufactures a "Kaiserbaritone in C" Four rotary valves, pitched a whole step higher than their Euphs and Baritones in Bb. There is a pic of the Bb version on Miraphone's website. Under instruments, click the pic of the oval euph. Didn't see anything with 6 valves, though, except their F tubas.
Would adding the two extra valves be close to the original French version? Or are we talking about major differences in the bore size as well? At least it's the right octave and fundamental pitch.
