I don't know if Vuillaume did this but I do know that Panormo did. The one I have here supposedly a Panormo 'School' Bass is 6-6.5mm thick all across the Top.

Panormo did work in France as well but that was before Vuillaume was born. If this is true about the 6mm Top thickness then perhaps he just copied Panormo.
