And those Zeus cranks with TA/Stronglight 49D style chainrings. I have a set of those cranks, polish up beautifully, but TA/Stronglight rings are not interchangable.

Suspecting these cranks date to around 1970?

Chrome nervex-style lugs on a Competition? The first aooearance of the Comp that I can find is the Mark II the 1973 catalogue. Perhaps the Comp was offered in England earlier, and with chrome lugs? (since "Mark II" would logically indicate a previous model existed .)
