I found these images in a French language aviation magazine "Le Fana de l'Aviation:

ATAR Front

ATAR Rear

The accompanying article, from what I can tell, is about the developmental history of the ATAR jet engine, and various aircraft designs that were created around those engines.

There are also a number of views of a smaller swept-wing flying wing design tested in a variety of different engine configurations: tractor prop, pusher prop, single jet, twin jet, quad jet, and various combos of props and jets.  There's also one image of "Le SNECMAS 1402 Gerfaut" a Goblin-ish interceptor, and a couple of the Durandal fighter.

I believe, haven't checked it yet, that there's at least one kit of this one available.

If you think the Pogo resemblance is strong there, check this out: A Pogo stuffed inside a big ducted fan.
