See here http://www.rolls-royce-museum.de/eng/phantom1.htm where it says that Manessius was a Belgian coachbuilder, who also had a shop in Paris. Should we move Manessius from the French to the Belgian section?

I have understood that it was a French coachbuilder with premises in Levallois-Perret, near Paris, who also had a shop window in Brussels. I have yet see advertisements which state otherwise. Likewise this is bacjup by the stock certificate shown.

Carrosserie Manessius was founded in 1919 by Manès Levy in the Parisian suburb of Puteaux. The name was a Latinisation of Levy’s forename, and the business was very successful, so Levy moved to a new and larger facility in Levallois-Perret in 1922. A leader in innovative construction techniques, he pioneered in all-metal construction, body mounting and painting methods, as well as the conduite intérieure integral luggage compartment.
