Soem time ago I purchasen a set of Stronglight 49D cranks with TA rings for my Cinelli B-model. The right crank had the typical Stronglght stamping reading Depose only while the left crank arm has a Marque Depose stamp. I always thought the Depose only stamp is the older variation while the Marque Depose the newer one. I also presumed I had a mismatched set. Now I discovered an identical set on german ebay with the same "mismatched" configuration. Could it be they were produced that way from originally? Two sets like these seem to be not really coincidential. Any comments would be helpful. Not that i really care, I mounted the set on my bike as it was. Regards
