NR and SR cranksets used the same crank arms and therefore had the same date markings. A diamond meant 1970's and the digit inside would be the year (i.e. a diamond with a 3 inside would be 1973) and a circle meant 1980's (i.e. a circle with a 3 inside would be 1983). Unmarked crank arms were made prior to about 1971 - I may be off by a year on this - anyone?
There were also square markings but I am unsure of what they represented.
