That pug is for 1 inch threaded forks. Because they are missing I assume they have been damaged, so ask the seller to confirm that the downtube is not rippled underneath where it meets the headtube lugs. it's worth £15 at most IMO.
I bought an complete peugeot 103 grand sport like that off Ebay for £8 last autumn. My dad rides it now. Prices have risen but be patient and something better will eventually turn up.
My 2 p - if you put even slightly nice parts on it you will later want to upgrade the frame... I believe 103 carbolite is just Hi-tensile steel, so don't expect miracles ..and so it begins.
