WAG is a UO-8 from around 72. Sure the wheels are 26 inch? How about some pics?

It is definitely a UO-8. I'll bet the forks are half-chromed. An AO-8 would have low-flange hubs with wingnuts instead of QR skewers.

1972 UO-8 it is. 
Unlike an automotive VIN, the serial number gives the year of manufacture (initial "2" and 7 digits = 1972), but not the model.

The UO-8 did not change much during the early 1970s. By 1975, US Export versions were saddled with horrible Simplex stem shifters, but it appears that European models were not. Also, the European description in your link shows a triple chainring, which was not available in the US market. The decals on my 1970 UO-8 (see signature) and the 1975 in your link are virtually identical.
