Yes, I believe the example I posted is a 1967 PX-10. - Not my bike of course [I only WISH it was!] or I would not have asked this dumb detailing question to begin with. More photos are on the Classic Rendezvous website.
My frame has two small holes in the head tube from a (missing) headbadge, which Peugeot had replaced with simple decals right around that time, and the 6-digit serial number also seems to be in the right ballpark. I had picked up my frameset with a truly piss-poor spray job over most of the frame, and still the remains of the original blue paint on a few areas where the previous owner was apparentlly just too lazy to spray. He had also sprayed over the chromed lower ends of the fork and stays - probably to either "modernize" or "Italian-ize" the overall appearance of the bike, even though the chrome was not chipped, rusted, or pitted at all [yeah, what a moron!].
On the positive side... I bought it for a song on eBay a few years back. Surely, that was because nobody (well, except for me) wanted to mess with the poor Ugly Duckling frameset ... I always have a lot of
Vision and imagination to help me see through thick gobs of ugly enamel.
