If your bottom bracket spindle is marked (as and example 118x55) the 55 is the standard 68 cm width, and more than likely French. if 118x57 this is 70cm and Italian.
Check your lock ring, will it thread up on the fixed cup? Meaning either French or Italian, since both thread the same for both cups.
