I would start by removing the back only and remove all the extra cleats that look wrong, ie, too big, whatever. Get the back in good shape, reglue it and then do the sides and top. I have heard our more experienced people like Ken and Arnold say to remove or thin or do something with big linings that are typical of French basses.
Be careful - remember you make a living mostly with your hands playing .
Hope this helps- now i will look at your pictures. Good to have you back on the block.
Oh, I see you still have the top on - my bad
