I found another period pic, that we all love...
The article says that this car had a Conrero-tuned Dauphine engine, 998cc 95hp and it's called Boudot-Conrero.

On top of that I can add this:







As you can see, the drawing it signed by Paolo Martin who back then worked for the Studio Torino Giovanni Michelotti.

One of my sources mentions that it is a reduced Alfa Romeo Giulietta engine, but until know, there is no one who can confirms this...
Is there anywhere a real proof that this car has a connection with Alpine?

The article from Motor that you posted reports the same, under the pic of the engine: "...a 998cc, 95hp engine tuned by Boudot-Conrero".

The engine is a Boudot.  The word "DINAMIC" is almost legible on the right cam cover, which I have seen on other pictures of the Boudot engine. 

It closely resembles the Boudot engine in the back of this 4CV

The picture from the back was reversed, so here it is again. And an interesting view of the open bonnet:
