Reviewing the aircraft database I noticed what looks like a typo : the Bréguet 763 Provence speed should be 205, but the database shows 105.

Do you have a source for that?

And Apparently, 105 is not the max. pax it can carry.
 It varies from 130 - 135 in different sources.

Also, the range should be much shorter than the one in the database.

If all the data is wrong, the data in AM may be for another plane. However, that site is for "Br. 763 Provence (761/763)", as if the model 761 and 763 are different. The pax difference could be explained by this, but I doubt the speed could be half (although I think speed is in mph, as the distances are in miles, so 211 kts = 243 mph).

The source I got the speed from is an Air France book reviewing all aircraft used until 1983. The Bréguet 763 cruise speed is listed as "380 km/h", giving 236 mph or 205 kts. It also fits this aircraft better. Regarding pax capacity 107 is right, and range seems ok too. As a side note they were most of the time used by Air France with passengers only on the upper deck and freight on the lower deck !
