Yes, it appears to be a PX10. Brake levers are seat post have been changed...
1. Look at the frame tubing. 531 with diagonal writing? Check.
2. Lack of braze-ons with the exception of a RD cable stop and little nub for the shifters? Check.
There's always exceptions to the rule but if a Peugeot frame has those two features more than likely its a PX10. This frame also has the proper lugs and fork crown, seat stay caps, crankset and brake calipers.

As side note, around '78-ish or so Peugeot began painting European PX10 forks and stays.

to me, it's also weird that bike has dt bottle bosses and brazed shifters but no top tube fittings.
i'm used to seeing top tube guides on a particular model before those other braze-ons appear in its evolution.

had the money and wanted "the best". The best condition PX-10 I ever bought here was one that had been
owned by a guy who bought it "hoping to become a bike rider", and who parked it in the attic or garage
somewhere after the first flat tubular........He carried it around for the next 30 years from place to place,
but it never carried him another mile. Good for me
, bad for him. 
Probably it's still the same way, with money chasing"the best", but I don't follow CF much, except to make fun of the freds in road.

I bought this from Italy, with practically all parts replaced so I basically just have the frame of PX10 or some variant. Notice the through the top tube cable routing. Frame serial number 6120211 and decals seem to say around 1976. Two questions:
1.I could easily believe that the cable holes are a self made modification. However, I can see absolutely no marks of removed cable guides or a repaint on the top tube, that is puzzling. Is it possible that this modification has been made in factory?
2.Is it at all possible that the Stronglight 105 bis crankset is original? I know it started production in 1977, but I've read that sometimes bikes have been assembled from frames built on the previous year.
I have asked this before here, but without detail photos.

It would have had bolt on cable clamps and I see marks on the top tube that could have been made by them. I believe that the holes are an owner modification.

Oh, cable clamps! That explains everything, I thought Peugeots like this had welded on cable guides. Now that I look at photos of PX10 the clamps are quite visible. Duh!
How about that Stronglight 105 bis crankset? I've seen them on several PX10s..
