Here is a 175mm 110BCD 48-34 on my PX-10:

IMHO, the cranks look right on a vintage bike.....

That's a pretty nice-looking crank, the price is reasonable, and the 48-34 makes a pretty nice wide-range double. But according the site you linked, the crank has a BCD of 130, and 38 teeth is as small as you can go on a 130 crank.

So how does the 34-tooth ring go on? Perhaps the 48-34 crank has a BCD of 110, and just the 52-39 version (or is it 53-39? I forget.) is 130?
