The 3-pin end of the HCW-5 works with the more typical lockings that have 6 notches.

Channel locks are a brand of adjustable pliers. Google them, you will find thousands of links. Can find at pretty much any hardware store, along with Walmart and others.
BTW: The only thing on your bike that is unique Peugeot is the frame. Peugeot, like pretty much every bicycle maker out there built their bikes using parts built by a handful of suppliers, that supplied everyone in the industry. Many brands didn't even make their frames, they were just marketing companies. I have a Schwinn for example that does not have a single Schwinn part on it, the entire bike was made by Panasonic, and even in the case of Panasonic, they only made the frame.
Carbolite 103 is not the model of your bike, its Peugeot's tradename for the high tension steel they used to make the frame. Peugeot made several bikes, over many years, with Carbolite 103 frames. The Carbolite 103 was used on their lower end models.

Your best bet would be to try the classic and vintage forum. There are guys there who could figure it out for you. My guess is that it's somewhere between an 82 and 84. The model could be a P4 or P6. Those are just guesses. There are sites that help you figure out the year based on the date codes on the components.
