The only issue with this statement was the lower level 1970's Peugeot's (PH/AO 8 or below) did not come with cotterless cranksets. If it is as you say (and looks), a low end 70" Peugeot, then at the very least the spindle has also been replaced.

Here is a 74 A08 that looks real close, but with a cottered crank. http://cyclespeugeot.com/images/1974_Peugeot_AO8.jpg
