It looks very similar to my '78, which I think is a PR10, though advertised as a PN10. The Pug model numbers are especially confusing. The decals and frame look similar to mine, but I have Mafac center pulls, and the clear plastic covered head badge. It is a great riding bike. Mine came with a Stronglight TS crank, with a stripped pedal thread. I removed the TS with great difficulty, and mounted a Sugino GT compact double. Good luck with yours. That was a great time for Pugeout color/decal combinations. I changed the brake levers to Campy aero, since it had incorrect ones when I got it anyway. The front Simplex plastic derailleur was broken so I replaced it temporarily with a Shimano Exage, which seems to work. Mine doesn't have the threaded drop out screw adjusters. Heres mine.
