Yes, the description of the components is correct, except for the saddle, for a PX-10, but the photos are clearly those of a UO-8.
The only item in the description that might be correct is the AGDA saddle, the nasty rock hard leather saddle stock on UO-8's. The photos clearly show steel cottered cranks, cheap stamped rear DO's, clincher rims (probably steel) with shraeder valves, cheap plastic Prestige shift levers, rather than the top quality equipment described. Also, PX-10 had half-chromed rear stays, which the UO-8 in the photo does not. Even the frame size is wrong, described as a 61 cm, but I don't think the bike pictured is more than 58 cm.
This bike is being listed by a selling service which lists all kinds of items for sellers for a fee. They therefore cannot be expected to know anything about bicycles. It looks like either the descrinption is from a catalog, or the photo is a stock Peugeot photo or both. It's possible the description is correct and the picture is not, in which case there might be a real bargain here, but the safest thing is to assume the photo is correct and bid accordingly if at all.
