Still, perhaps some aircraft have been fittet with the BZ ... it gave rear hemisphere warning only
Yes, according to my sources, most were equipped as such (Mirage 5F), see also linked discussion

CM was carried externally:
Phimat Chaff pod, ~210 chaff packets
Lacroix flare dispenser mounted into the parabrake housing, 14 cartridges (possible with 2 flares per cartridge = 28 total ... info on this varies...)

Edit 2:
Another source I have says that Lacroix cartridges have 3 flares or chaff packets per cartridge, so you can have up to 42 flares if
you go for a flares only setup for the parabrake housing dispenser
After 1985, most french aircraft were eqquipped with at least Lacroix cartridge in the parabreak housing.
