Ted,
     Interesting that you mention these cranks. I have an old track bike with all original equipment (?) dating from 1959. The the odd thing about the Campy Pista crankset is most (not all) of the chainring bolts are black anodized. No question in my mind that they are anodized and not painted. I thought that it might be aging or an anomaly or something. But....your crankset makes me think they were, in fact, made that way and somwhere along the line something got changed. I'm sure about the cranset date in that it has raised pedal lips. Edward Albert Chappaqua, NY
