They're only "seemingly identical" if you don't know what to look for. It's easy to tell the difference: Triomphe crank spider arms taper more then flare (get wider) as they approach the chainring bolts; Victory just taper slightly and do not flare.

See http://www.ventoux.com/images/f.gif (from Catalog 18bis).
