@ Asker I suspect these are light fittings possibly installed in a suspended ceiling, where the 'body' is permanently fixed but the 'works' can be removed easily for service — particularly relevent for suspended ceilings, which are generally too fragile for fittings to be removed frequently. The use of 'ejecto' perhaps suggests this is some specific brand, which you might be able to research?

with troffer/ceiling light casing/modules

plafonnier are ceiling lights / or troffers. The "caissettes" suggest small boxes or casing of some sort, which are possibly modular or removable units.

"Troffers are typically recessed sitting above the ceiling grid, but are also available in surface mount 'boxes'.

The troffer is the most common type of light fixture for use in commercial office spaces, schools, and lab facilities."

"Ejecto for me refers to a heating system involving "éjecto-convecteurs" = induction units a/c to my own glossary.

Though the system is somewhat outdated, the googling I've just done suggests it is making a comeback:
"Si ce système a eu son heure de gloire dans les années 70 pour la climatisation des grands bureaux, il s'installe rarement aujourd'hui en allège. Par contre, il revient à la mode actuellement sous la forme de poutres froides insérées dans le faux plafond."

... I wonder if they make the beasts with integrated lighting like some all-electric units :

No "éjecto" here, but they do talk about "éjection" :

It would be nice to see the words around "par caissettes éjecto plafonnier"... "
