On bikes with original finish one can usually distinguish the PX-10 from le sser models by the Peugeot and the 531 decals, the lugs, DO's, the fork cro wn,and the use of chrome. After the PY-10 superceded the PX-10 as the top model, it got a bit harder to distinguish the two if both are bar e framesets. Some bikes sold in Europe seem to match neither the U S spec PY-10 nor PX-10 precisely.
But I don't know of anyone who has yet been able to decipher the Peugeot serial numbers.

Well, luckily the debate on Alex Singer pronounciation was short lived and
productive, and we now know the way Mr Singer pronounced his own name, ther efore the correct pronounciation. Which way anybody wishes to pronounce the name once the correct pronounciation is ascertained is a trivial matter.
But how about this other unsettled question: anything and everything produc ed by Peugeot during and after the bike boom is called a PX10. Even very pl ain boy racers or disguised utilitarians which were marketted with steel ri ms. Off with the steel, on with some sewups to tubular rims, a pair of allo y bars and hey presto, it's a PX 10.
Any production data out there with serial numbers ?
