Driven by Guy (or Franz, depending on the source) Deladriere (B) :

I'm finding no information about this one other than the fact that it raced in the prototype category and finished 9th. Referred to as 'Proto Euromarche' : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rallye_Dakar_1988#Autos[2]

What chassis, engine or other components did it borrow from?

It's called Rover 4x4 here: https://www.vectis.co.uk/104-lot-86506

I recognize the head lights all to well but can't figure out from where. I don't think it's just something generic and it's not Manta B nor Volvo F10/F12. Annoying...

Here's an article in French with another picture, but I'm not sure it sheds any more light: https://i.imgur.com/F8LrBoY.jpeg
And a picture of the rear: https://i.imgur.com/MEH9Zu4.png (from https://www.wallapop.com/item/parigi-dakar-1988-992574056 )

The model linked by atom has a fastback body, but the 1988 version was squarer.

A Facebook post with several pictures of Deladrière's Dakar vehicles from 1985, 1986, 1987, and 1988: Link to "www.facebook.com"

1985's version had the fastback body and a prominent Land Rover logo.

Quote Dakar 1985: Guy Deladriere et Didier Schellens à bord de ce proto sur base Range Rover...

1986 Dakar, fastback body, no Land Rover logo, ended with the car upside down and thoroughly wrecked.

1987 Dakar, fastback body, same FVA179 registration as the 1988:

Quote Dakar 1987...Après l'accident en 86, Guy Deladrière revient avec un nouveau proto, toujours sur base Range Rover. Il est avec Berthuel et ils finiront à un magnifique 13ème place au général!!!

Some suggestion it's based on a Rover SD1?

Quote J'avais été avant ce Dakar à la présentation de ce proto au casemates à Mons en Belgique. Guy Deladrière m'avait même dédicacé un autocollant ou une coupure de presse que j'avais plastifié pour le protéger. Je ne le retrouve plus malheureusement. J'étais fou de ce proto car mon père avait une Rover SD1 à l'époque.....

Guy Deladrière had even signed me a sticker or a press cutout that I laminated to protect him. I can't find it anymore unfortunately. I was crazy about this proto because my dad had a Rover SD1 at the time.....

Quote Dakar 1988. Deladrière revient avec Berthuel sur son proto spécifique. Il va encore faire mieux qu'en 87 et arrivera dans le top 10, avec même une 9ème place au général!!! Un exploit!
