Peter,
Great bike, I had one just like it. It was available only one year (1986) and was the only Peugeot made with Columbus SLX tubing. It was, as another list member pointed out, the third from top behind the CY10FC (carbon and almost all French) then the PZ which was made from 531SL and all Campag SR and then the PX as you now have. I have the catalog but no scanner - send me your address and I'll ship you the catalog so you can see the whole thing and then scan whatever you wish; return it when you are finished. The brakes on your bike would have been Mavic 410's in silver. These brakes were really Modolo's branded as Mavic.
Really nice bike to ride and the craftsmanship is very nice or even excellent when compared to earlier Peugeot's!
