Eric,
PX 10E's came in only white according to a 1974 catalog, as did the PX 10LE. In 1975 they indicate the high end models were either Pearl White or Pearl Blue. Later years offered Black as well.
I've never seen a white PX 10E from earlier than 1967. It could be they offered it, but none have come to my attention. The only white models earlier than 1967 belonged to the Peugeot team. Early 60's PX 10's had multi-colored head lugs (red, yellow), later models had lugs the same color as the frame with gold striping. In 1967 they started doing the lugs in black.
