pedals are a replacement

originals were Atom model 440

one time they ran out and used the KKT RTSF as a substitute for half a year

do not recognise these; perhaps they are a model of Union. there is likely a marking on the endcap. the Union mark is a letter U inside a shield shape:





note that the chainset exhibits the Schwinn specific shift smoothing ring to aid upshifts from the small to large chainwheel.

here is one on a 1971 model ST:



[ the 1971 model ST came with a TA chainset while subsequent years received a NERVAR]

appears to be a 1972 model. 1971 was the launch year. the 1971 had a T.A. chainset and by 1973 the rear mech had become a Schwinn badged Shimano Crane.
