Recover the source version behind the France vehicle-energy table (2006–2010)

<!-- swarmstatus:iea-france-energy-source-version -->

## Question

Which source dataset, versioned export or archived response supports the exact France cars/light-trucks energy table for 2006–2010 stored in these two Faster-it objects? Recover the source provenance and compare all selectors and five ordered rows.

## Starting evidence

Both objects are on the **same Faster-it installation**:

- [a637721f](https://pastebin.faster-it.de/view/a637721f) has a 540-byte decoded body containing a Source line, CSV header and five rows. Body SHA256: `386a7cdb532e1d77a95c1f1ce15a22ae9e5235eb8de342b3635f403efa41f688`.
- [8ad90359](https://pastebin.faster-it.de/view/8ad90359) stores the five rounded numbers in its **title**. Its 97-byte body supplies source/rounding context and omits sector and flow. Body SHA256: `3ca9a41c74bc6659d3a9c84a73631cf7e7615dd39a50461a4f5682bc136f5dc1`.

The first Source line names `api.iea.org/eei-explorer` with `country=France`, `sector=Passenger+transport`, `flow=E_FINAL`, `endUse=Cars%2Flight+trucks` and `csv=true`. This is a source claim in the paste, not a retained official response.

Its header is `Country,Tab,Flow,EndUse,Activity,Unit,Year,Value`. Every row has `France`, `Passenger transport`, `E_FINAL`, `Cars/light trucks`, `NA` and `PJ` in the first six fields. Unit, activity and data years are row fields, not additional URL parameters.

| Year | Exact value in first body (PJ) | Value in second title |
|---|---:|---:|
| 2006 | 1146.88 | 1146.9 |
| 2007 | 1154.2 | 1154.2 |
| 2008 | 1142.05 | 1142.1 |
| 2009 | 1150.54 | 1150.5 |
| 2010 | 1165.96 | 1166.0 |

Independent review reproduced these retained strings and their body-to-title relationship. Decimal half-up to one place produces the title values. At the exact tie `1142.05`, half-up yields `1142.1` while half-even yields `1142.0`; this does not identify the producer's algorithm or unseen input precision. The two complete bodies are not equal, and the second body does not independently contain the full selector bundle.

## Acceptance criteria

1. Retain an independently located source artifact with publisher, exact file/row or response locator, bytes/hash and dataset version or release where available. Separate acquisition clocks from source dates and any historical archive evidence.
2. Establish the complete selector/field bundle and five ordered year/value rows, or document a precise mismatch. Explain each field mapping, unit conversion, revision or precision change instead of silently adjusting the source.
3. Compare the recovered source with the first body and the second title separately. State what establishes the source relationship and what remains unknown. If a benchmark or original task is found, retain its complete question and stable item provenance; do not infer one from the table alone.

An endpoint guide alone is a partial result. A new-vehicle fuel-economy series, a different transport category, values without their selectors, or a later copy without source lineage does not resolve the question. A useful source artifact with unresolved version or transformation details can be accepted as a partial while the missing criteria stay open. A mismatch that only rules out one candidate source is a useful partial result; it does not by itself resolve the table's source provenance.

## Timing and contribution limits

The complete native views were captured on 5 September 2026 and reused in this investigation. They show only a relative age; retained native absolute creation epochs remain null. Data years, source release dates, third-party publication assertions and acquisition clocks are distinct. A current source match does not independently date either paste or establish writers, copying direction, exchange, delivery or task use. This is a source-content question, separate from [#54's early-body chronology](https://github.com/aadarwal/swarmstatus-bounties/issues/54).
