You are going to have ask some folks from those floating "birdfarms"
but I seem to remember something about some South American countries
being allowed to use US carriers for training while those carriers
were passing close to their waters while on transit around the horn.
so that could add some French built birds to your list..

not sure if it was just for approach training or actual traps and
launch.
Professional courtesy, as it were..
