Gang,
I was guessing that the aluminum alloy-caged Lyotard pedal was the 45CA based on this page from the '74 Cyclo-Pedia catalog seen here:

Other sellers may have given them a different #; I don't know. Both of my '71ish Motobécane Le Champion bikes came with that all alloy (but steel spindle) pedals.
Cheers,
Duane Kennard
