Please help me identify this bicycle (Peugot)

Question

I recently finished a renovation project on a classic Peugeot road/touring bike and was wondering what the model and production year of this bicycle is.

I tried but could not find anything myself. Perhaps one of you more knowledgable in classic bikes could help me identify the model/production year. I've attached a number of photos.

Some additonal info:

Simplex derailleurs
Frame number: y71210232
Atom hubs
Rigida rims

Here is a link to the rest of the images: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1vWegk_w2W92iAWccGJoYzEkW7v3aPSQz?usp=sharing

Thank you very much!

I'd guess an 80s touring bike, because of the downtube shifter, the front rack, the brakes, and the steel spoke protector. — Criggie, Oct 06 '18 at 21:39
Mafac brakes, plastic capped shift levers, front ring protector, thin seatpost set in a bushing and cottered steel crank. I'd say late 60's early 70's. I've had a similar one in those days. — Carel, Oct 07 '18 at 08:52

It looks a lot like this 1976 UE-8, except for the front rack.
