puzzling situation with finding and booking a flight

Hello,
I'm having a somewhat puzzling situation with a flight I'm trying to book:
It's CDG to SVG (return trip) via BGO, on October 1st and October 3rd.

This connection does exist according to expertflyer flight availability feature:
AF 1252 CDG 10/01/19 2:15 PM BGO 10/01/19 4:25 PM
SK 4185 BGO 10/01/19 6:50 PM SVG 10/01/19 7:25 PM
connection time: 1h20

Same thing for the return flight:
SK 4176 SVG 10/03/19 3:35 PM BGO 10/03/19 4:10 PM
AF 1253 BGO 10/03/19 5:15 PM CDG 10/03/19 7:35 PM
connection time: 1h05

However, I cannot find those flights on SAS or AF websites, nor on any comparison websites (skyscanner, momondo, kayak, etc.).

I've checked the minimum connection time in Bergen for flights, it's 30 minutes:
STANDARD.D/D...D/I...I/D...I/I.
ONLINE .30 .30 .30 .30
OFFLINE .30 .30 .30 .30
** OR * ARE ALL
SK-SK ID .50
SK-SK DI .40

Even if one considers the SK-SK time, and 20 minutes of buffer before the gate closes, the connection is stil valid.

Do you see a reason why these flights cannot be booked? And is there an agency that would book those flights on a single ticket, so that the connection is protected in case of delay?

Thank you and best regards,
Gilles
