Curious - not doubting you, so don't take this the wrong way, this is a learning experience for me - does your '74 PX10LE use the foil headbadge or plastic?
A lot of the popular Peugeot reference sites have the same catalog marked as "1974 North America", but the bikes inside it use the same decals found in the 1973 EU catalogs. I always wondered if (a) the common North America catalog on those sites is incorrectly labeled and it's actually the '72-'73 English catalog, or (b) maybe North America received leftover 1973 EU market frames for sale in 1974, which is why the English '74 catalog everyone seems to have shows bikes with EU 1973 decals.
I've never managed to find a bike with serial and decals intact that could prove/disprove it.
