Even when un-marked, or even stamped "14x125" (indicating French threads), they were often modified after purchase by local bike shops. You can test a standard pedal on the crank. If it is threaded for standard pedals it may actually fit, although perhaps tightly after all these years, so be sure to use a bit of grease on the threads.
I second this hypothesis, as my girlfriend's 1972ish PX-10 came with the original Stronglight crank, which had standard pedal threads, even though they were marked as 14X125...
