The librarian of the French Institute at Pondicherry kindly informs me that Vaudeville’s 1962 book is still available for purchase at the Institute.

I have now recalled that a revised, enlarged, popularised and less technical, account of the Duhas is available as the final chapter in Vaudeville’s Myths, Saints and Legends in Medieval India (O.U.P 1996), with an English translation, but not the Rajasthani text of the ballard. There is a footnote to this concluding chapter of Vaudeville’s selected essays by the editor stating that this essay was first published in Bharatiya Vidya, Munshi Indological Felicitation Volume, vol. xx-xxi (1960-61), pp. 225-31. (It can be found on archive.org by searching for Munshi Indological Volume.) In the Munshi Volume Vaudeville explains that that 1960-61 essay is an English translation of the introduction to her forthcoming book, Les duha de Dhola Maru.
