Subject: [CR]Stronglight "Depose" crank

My long-awaited Meteor arrived earlier today; the non-drive side crank says Stronglight in big letters and "DEPOSE" in smaller ones. Is that some sort of generic term or a reference to the model?

It has thread-on caps and thus, I think, it's cotterless. The bike is vintage approximately 1960 and I'm trying to determine what's original and what's not on it. The bolt circle is one I'm not familiar with and the rings are 52 and 36, with pretty big nuts and bolts holding the big ring on, 13mm nuts, I'm guessing just by eyeballing them.

Any info much appreciated. I'm hoping to finish putting it together and get it out on the road tomorrow or Sunday.
