I’ve found some images of the B-307s used by the International Control Commission in Indochina. They belonged to the French firm Aigle-Azure and had French Registrations F-BELU and F-BELV. If you go to this site and then click on the registrations for B-307, you can get the data on owners and fates and some photos. AeroTransport Data Bank (ATDB) - Index 8B - Aircraft Registrations

Other French registered B-307s were F-BELX and F-BELY

Here are some more sites with additional (in some cases conflicting) information:

This site, which deals primarily with the Smithsonian B-307, has a list of B-307 crashes that indicates that B-307s flew under French, Cambodian, and Laotian registrations (some of the aircraft may have served under more than one registration):F-BHHR (Aigle Azur Extreme Orient), F-BELZ (Airnautic), F-BELV (one of the ICC aircraft), XW-PGR (Royal Air Lao), XW-TFR (Cambodia Air Commercial), and XW-TFP (Royal Air Lao)

Here is a Royal Air Laos advertisement image: Air Laos

This Time Magazine article mentions that the aircraft belonged to Aigle Azur: How Not to Supervise a Peace - TIME

Here is a report on the crash of F-BELV in November 1965 with the loss of all on board: ~MIAs~

Here is a report of sightings of F-BELY and F-BELX that (apparently erroneously) refers to them as the ICC aircraft: Airdrop | Flight Journal | Find Articles at BNET
