The Breguet BLC was a Breguet BUC with an improved engine and minor changes, none of which could change the fact that the design was well-obsolete by the time it was available for use. It was also known as the Breguet 1. ("BLC" stands for Breguet, Renault, Chasse (fighter)).
It is likely that only a few were built, as the design was already obsolete by early 1916. [1]
