I believe what you have is a 1980 Peugeot UO19C Grand Sport. The serial number is consistent with a French manufactured Peugeot and is also supported by the presence of the Atax stem. This format came into use in the very late 1970s and your number would indicate March 1980 or March 1990. I'd expect internal brazing as opposed to lugs for the latter. The necked seat tube with cinch collar and head lug style are consistent with the 1980 mixte frames but I would have expected French threading. 25.0mm seat posts were also used on some Peugeot models.
In 1980 Peugeot offered two mixte model in the USA, the UO18 and UO19C. The former had braze-ons for a lighting system while the latter did not. Also the former used a fully painted fork while the latter had chromed bottoms. The lack of lighting system braze-ons and chrome fork on your frame point towards a UO19C which has had the original paint removed from the fork.
