Looks like modified Gipiemme Special.

Everyone made a copy of SR cranks.
Some were better than others in terms of the alloy used and therefore how likely they are to crack.
I'd think the engraving is aftermarket and represents the bike manufacturer, or perhaps a vain owner, rather than the manufacturer of the cranks.
What's the PCD? They look to be in great condition and I wonder if they could be a modern remake.

I've just bought my first Mercian from ebay, and I'm pretty bloody excited. However, I'm struggling to identify the crankset. The pictures are quite limited, but I can see that it says 'Strada 170' on the inside of the non-drive side. Initially I assumed Campagnolo, but they don't look exactly like any I can find online, and in addition they have some panto that appears to say 'AB'. Only thing I can think of is Ambrosio perhaps?
The bike is supposedly from 1984, some pics below. Any help greatly appreciated, thanks.
