Hi, Joe,
I do. The crankarm/ring set is a copy of T.A. I think. 5 bolt mounting crankarm as Sronglight, but only 3 ring binding bolt pattern, I am not sure about BCD but it is small about 133mm or so?
This the set, I bought in Japan about 1968 during high school. They told me that do not take the cotterless arm off and on too often, the material that Sugino's forging was too poor to withstand "spread" out of the taper as you re-tighten.
Again, Japanese manufacturing many many "copy" of European parts during 60's.
