I know two series of Nervar alloy chainrings. One type used the 50.5 (?) mm 5-pin circle like the Stronglight 49, Williams, TA, etc. These sound like the other type, the Nervar Star 5-arm. You will want to note that these use a unique bolt circle that doesn't interchange with anything else known to mankind. Close to Stronglight 63/93, if I recall correctly, but no cigar. However, with a little time with a rat-tail file, I was able to adapt them to fit something else, back in the day. Worked fine, on a kid-back tandem I set up. I'll check the BCD when I get home.
