" When I first saw the Paramount listing, which would have been Fall '62 or Spring '63, I'm 99% certain that the stock crank was the 3-arm steel Stronglight Competition, a very fine forged item (I put it in the same class as the senior Magistroni, etc). The Paramount was $200, and Campy cranks were a $25 option. "

My '60 Tourist has the steel Stronglight Competition cranks and Campy Grand Sport der's. The Alloy Campy cranks were an option in the catalog.
