the "cyclo touriste" cranks (actual name "professional 5 vis") cranks were introduced in 1963, and has been virtually identical to its original form ever since - modern ones have a laser-etched logo on the arm, rather than the sticker that used to be there, but if you really want to you could maybe track down an old set of stickers and put them on, cause the indentation for the sticker is still there...
pics can be found on the cranks page of my ta catalogue site:

the zephyr and alize are modern cranks, i beleive introduced in the 90s, and while not period, are damn fine cranks. still some of the nicest finish work out there.
