Peter, the only time that Scott gives a separate catalog number to a precanceled stamp (not including specialized listings like in the US Specialized catalog) is when the precancel also includes a surcharge, like several stamps from Belgium.

re: France: Identify cancel please
Y&T has a whole section on precancelled stamps for France. There are (as of my 2007 catalog) 250+ distinctive precancelled French stamps, not counting varieties. This one is Y&T #42. It's a fun area to collect, but beware of counterfeits.
For France, the only time you find them in Scott is when the stamp is only issued as a pre cancel, like Scott #114, Scott #431, Scott #707-710 etc..
