How do you distinguish between French and SA build ?

french built peugeot frames often carry a tubing decal showing what peugeot brand tubing was used /"made in france" decal under clear coat from 1980s onwards on export models 

serial numbers usually 6 -7 digits usually on the bottom of BB sometimes on the rear dropout on early models -from 80s serial numbers had a letter prefix showing model 

usually build quality is high and parts are as per catalogs

 

SA built bikes not so much ..... and of course the smell 😂

In the brochure's photo the seat stays look different than the OP's bike. The tips welded to the seat tube top appear to be cut flat diagonally. I've seen this in other bikes as well. Anybody knows the purpose of it?
