I'll bet two pesos it's at the (relatively) new
monument garden / museum at Dzibilchaltun.

This museum was part of the massive infrastructure
improvement grants given to a few sites across Mexico
by INAH about 12 years ago.  The Dzibilchaltun museum
focused upon bringing monuments from various sites
around Yucatan under one protective glass roof.  I've
enlarged and uploaded one corner of a photograph I
took while there about a decade ago, and I'm pretty
darn sure that's where your monument (Uxmal Altar 10)
is standing.

Could be wrong.  Here's the link to the photo:
