Those cottered (a clavettes) ali cranks - very rare, and there could be a reason. I suspect they tended to break. An ali ring on steel cranks works fine, probably best to stick with that- especially at those prices.
I note that all these five pin crank sets look compatible with the original 1904 BSA version.
Bloody VAT - it's making looking at French ebay a pretty bitter experience!
Re the Magistroni, £150 all-in for nos cranks and chainwheel (a bit on the big side), it's not cheap but it's not awful if that floats your boat.
I saw these the other day and thought of you. I don't know what they are, and I don't have 300 euros for them but I surely do like them https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254837898741?ul_noapp=true
