Mystery vintage cyclocross-- Gitane?

I recently made the winning bid on an eBay bike that was advertised as a Gitane. It's a cyclocross bike, although I doubt the seller knew that (it wasn't mentioned in the listing). It was alleged to be a Gitane by the original owner (from whom the eBay seller acquired it), but has been repainted, so there are no decals of any kind on it. Can anybody recognize it, whether as a Gitane, or another make? It looks a little different from the Gitane XO I've seen online here (click on the picture for an enlarged view). I'm guessing it's a '91, based on the hi-wire cable routing.
