I don't think there is any issue with sending PCC during or after application submission. It clearly states that PCC can be submitted when requested. In your case, it will be sent when you get it. So no worry! I am seriously contemplating the role age plays in selecting applications for processing. I am 45+ and feel the age factor is pulling me down - Guys, any thoughts on this? Or any precedence where age has not been an issue and LVO granted MR etc...

I beg to disagree! If you passed the eligibility with 67 points, it doesn't matter if you're 45+. They process the application where one need to qualify for each item, including security/background check. To be fair, the most time taken is this, the PCC, where different 3rd parties collect/verify information, generally time required for this process is 1-6 months, so I strongly suggest if you have any pending PCC issues, don't wait for VO to request, do it upfront, you won't regret...
