That chain wheel guard appeared in the early 70's ('73 iirc) and believe you have an AE8... these were fitted with wing nuts at the hub and did not have chromed fork legs like the UE8 but are essentially the same bicycle.

The decals place it as being a 74-76 model.

Don;t know if the chain guard was original as this is not shown in Peugeot brochures I have looked at... the UP41 5 speed townie was fitted with the half guard as a stock fitting.

The AE and AO are the chrome-less versions of the UO and UE and are fitted out in a nearly identical manner... the AE has the same half step close ratio which was a little odd for a touring bike.
