I think the answer was pretty much covered, but just to add...

I recently got a hold of a an old TA/Tevano catalogue. It does have a page titled "Pista" and somewhat 'deceivingly' lists crank arms for both Pro 3 and Pro 5 crankarms, along with the "3" stamped chainwheels, "pista" chainring bolts and a BB.

However as everyone else noted these are the same crankarms used for all the other configurations. But at first blush, it does make them seem 'track specific'.

Sean Flores San Francisco, CA- Who currently has a set of TA 'Pista Cranks' for sale on ebay. :)
