How did they get away with the 904, 908 in that case?
Was it maybe because the were not regular production cars?

They got away with it because they didn't sell the cars in Porsche dealerships in France. They wanted to sell the 901 in France, so needed to either pay to use the name, or use a different name. They opted for the latter.
