Ozone smell probably came from the Cb overshoot they were flying near. I believe the top of the Cb was estimated by Meteo France as 52000 feet, and by Vasquez as 56000 feet. Ozone is present in significant amounts near the tropopause and the Cb overshoot reached into the ITCZ tropopause by 6,000 feet according to Vasquez.

The PNF seems to have recognized what it was.
