That said, your crankset is still not the one listed in the catalog with the special drilling to accept the 100 mm bcd 36t ring.

I would say that it could be original. In the bike-boom days, French manufacturers were slamming out bikes as fast as they could, using whatever components they could get. Since this was touring bike, they more or less had to put a triple on it, even if it was a crazy 52-46-42.
