This fuselage was seen in the Salis Collection hangars during the 2019 Fête Aérienne Le Temps Des helices. While initially believed to be a replica, the following article was posted on Le Parisien's website in December 2010 and ‘may’ relate to this airframe:-
</p><p>“Many wrecks of old aircraft have been found in Afghanistan since the NATO coalition invaded Afghanistan. Among them, a wreck of Potez 25 that will be restored from January at the Ferté-Alais by the association "Leather Helmets".
"We exchanged it for another wreck that interested the English," explains Baptiste Salis, president of the association. The restoration is expected to cost 150,000 euros, two-thirds of which is financed by a corporate patron and by the association. For the rest, Leather Helmets rely on donations from the public.
If the association manages to fly it again, it will be the only flying Potez 25 in the world. The restoration will be laborious. Only the metal elements remain from the device. The aircraft appears to have belonged to padshah Amanullah Khan in 1929 and fell into the hands of the rebels, who allegedly burned it near Kabul, leaving only the metal elements.”
