Most likely someone put Peugeot decals on a Giubilato frame. It's usually the opposite where someone puts Colnago or whatever decals on a lesser quality make.
Here's a mid 70s "Peugeot" track bike that was actually a repainted Gitane Super Pista. The owner worked at a large Peugeot dealer in Boston where he had access to PX-10 decals and did the transformation. It had all Campy components except for a Weinmann front brake. A Peugeot from that era would have been all French!
We had a Gitane Super Pista at our shop. One day the ersatz Peugeot owner stopped by to buy something. We dragged the Gitane out and compared the two. The Peugeot owner fessed up and told us the whole story.
There was a Peugeot dealer a few blocks from our shop. They put PX-10 decals on a gas pipe Huffy that they used as a shop bike!!!
