It's a 93, or at least most of one.
They normally look more like this:

When in doubt, with a 1970s Peugeot, assume it is not a PX10. Seems like every couple of weeks someone posts a U08 or similar that they think is a PX10. Peugeot made millions of the UO8s during the bike boom, and that's usually what you will find. The really good news is that you have an upgraded BB and crankset. Thats a big plus!
I almost knew it was a UO8, but just wanted to make sure.

Looks UE-8-ish to me. Generator tab and touring braze on's.
I'm most often wrong though.

Well, my wheel set seller sold my set right out from under my nose. 
That just INFURIATES me. What a ****ty ethic. Anyway, what would be a close match for a Peugeot Professional hub?
