We seem to be speaking differently about the same information.  As Rocher and Hazra both say, there is no such upapurana *surviving today*.  The title is known from old lists, and the work may or may not have actually existed, it's hard to tell.

There is in fact both an Auzanasa- and a -B.rhad-auzanasa-upapuraa.na.

Hereabout the pages 501-505 from R. C. Hazra, Studies in the Upapuraa.nas vol. 2 (zaakta and non-sectarian upapuraa.nas), Calcuta: Sanskrit College, 1963, nos. 3 & 6 (I remark that the pages in the 1979 ed. of the same are different: pp. 621-625).

A quick look in the index of Ludo Rocher's fine history of puranic literature shows an Auśanasapurāṇa, which is probably what Singh is trying to refer to.  P. 138 gives more information about this "lost" purāṇa, which is sometimes conflated with the Vindhyamāhātmya, that Singh also cites.  That's probably the basis of the information that Singh is garbling.
