Mine has a derailleur hangar on the right dropout, and a similar guide or handle on the other dropout. My badge is not rectangular, has a shield, and it's riveted. The downtube "Peugeot" is in gold block letters without a black base for the words. I think that black base started in 1970.
When did the downtube "Peugeot" change from script to block letters?
I bought mine from a List member.
