NEED HELP ID'ING A 70s PEUGEOT

Hi all,

I have been reading all of the posts on 70s Peugeots to get a clearer idea of what it is I am rebuilding, but I am confused! The serial number on the BB says 7101055, so I know it is a 70's model. I have now repainted it entirely for the second time, as the bike has seen continuous use since the 70s, and the original gold finish just really needed replacing in order to keep it roadworthy. So, unfortunately I cannot share a picture of how it looked originally. I have asked my dad to go through some of our old family pics to see what he can find. In the meantime I did find a picture of a paint and decal scheme on velospace which looks remarkably similar to the way this bike originally looked. My bike has a lugged frame, came with Mafac alloy brakes with the ball-end cables, Simplex alloy RD, Normandy hubs and Stronglight alloy crankset. I only ever remember it having clinchers. I do not recall whether there were any Reynolds/Vitus stickers on the frame, so am kinda stuck as whether this is a PX, PA or something else. Especially as the seatpost diameter is 25.8....
Just for your info, the bike has been in my possession since the early 90s when my dad stopped riding racers. He had bought it from a shop in the late 70s or early 80s in the south of The Netherlands (15m from Belgium) who informed him it used to be Merkx' training bike. Your help would be appreciated!
