Please reread my post and compare the photos of the OP's bike with those in the Peugeot brochure. OP's bike has rear rack braze-ons, which only one of the brochure bikes (not the PL8) has, and only one of the brochure bikes (the PX50) has canti bosses, which the OP's bike does not have. Hard to tell if the brochure bikes have the wire loops under the downtube but all three of them have generator brackets like the OP's bike has so presumably also have the wiring loops.

Therefore, I conclude that the because OP's bike does have some of the frame features that they do not and does not have some of the frame features that they do have, the OP's bike does not match the bike photos in the brochure so it is not one of those bikes. Simple.

The PX50 is the only one with the rear rack braze-ons and it is the only one with the downtube-mounted pump pegs but it has canti bosses, which the PO's frame does not have.
The PX8 has no rack braze-ons and the pump pegs are on the underside of the top tube.
The PL8 that seems to be everyone's favorite has no rack braze-ons and the pump pegs are on the underside of the top tube.
Ergo, no match.
