Anyone out there with either specific knowledge (brochures, etc) or experiece on PX-10's during the 60's and 70's?

It seems to me:

PX-10E's: 1960's - available in white or blue, both with black headlugs. 1970's - only available in white with black headlugs? I've never seen a blue one from the 70's. My 1977 brochure does not list the PX-10E - when was this particular model stopped? I know in 1974 that I could purchase either a "standard" PX-10E or a PX-10LE - was the LE the top model that year? When did the PX-10LE become second to the PY-10?

PX-10LE's 1974 - White with white headlugs and gold lug outlining (I know for sure as I had one of these), any other colors? 1975 - ? 1976 - ? 1977 - White, blue, red, black & silver. I have a red one, no lug outlining - when did that stop? When did the PX-10LE stop? 1978 - was any PX-10E or LE available?

Lastly - anyone have decals for a 1977 PX-10 - I need white downtube letters, the standard mid/late 70's seatube set and foil headbadge. Same as pictured on the PX-10 website, bike gallery phote of J 7035549, 1978 PY-10E. I do have 1 set of 1989 Peugeot Team Pro decals that I'd be happy to trade.

Thanks in advance
