These Dargaud are Dunkin I think.
Dargaud is a French comics editor, the Astérix home. It never sold chewing gum

That could be. But i bought is as Dargaud from a collector. So i really dont know.

You can find the tapir in the Dunkin TAW page.

I don't know who is your collector but I think he is mistaken himself.

The plastic monochromatic premiums known as "Dargaud" were licensed figurines from Dargaud comics like Asterix, Lucky Luke... Not animals. They were gifts for Malabar bubble gums and Lever washpowder.

They were produced under License, but not by Dargaud itself.

Dunkin is used in Spain, among collectors,  as a synonyme of promotional monochromatic figure.
It means that not all figures called Dunkin are Dunkin and it is actually uneasy to know which ones are the real Dunkin.
Below some informations I obtained through a quick search, I translated what I think is of relevance.

First Dunkin series was released in 1967
It was called "Fieras del Zoo"
30 monochromatic animal figures
4 different colors: green, red, yellow and sky blue.



These models were reissued later in different colors and as premium figures of different brand.
1970's:
- Chicles Tyler (Animales de la Selva)

1980's:
- Pastelitos tarzán (Panrico),

1990's:
- Chicles Boomer
Colors: Cream, brown and orange.
