I  took a look at the Maitre Toiles website: it refers to a secret process for the manufacture of "Sabre" priming - but makes no reference to acrylic - the sabre is a device used to coat canvases in what  seems to be a mix of rabbit skin glue and this priming, rather than separate layers of RSG and primer - it doesn't say what's in the priming, unless there's further information  tucked away that I missed.

I've now looked at the Daubes website, plus an associated stockists' site - I've not found any reference to acrylic gesso used with RSG - neither site was exactly profuse  with information, unfortunately - but given one of them was entirely in French, I could have missed something. If the questioner could provide us with a link to the product it shoud help - the Daubes company seems to offer a form of universal priming, and I wouldn't expect RSG to be involved in that.
