D/G should mean metric (aka "French") thread. Stronglight did explicitly mark the thread spec on the back of the arms:
So French threading limits selection? I can re-tap my arms for more standard threading? I've used left-hand taps before, they're out there but not as expensive critters as I remember them being; Amazon has a set of proper taps for ~ US $20.
AFAIK, nobody has made metric thread clipless pedals since the 1980s, and I don't think Shimano-compatible clipless pedals were ever made. Yes, your crank can be retapped to ISO/English thread. Before investing in tools for what might be a one-off job, you might check your local shops to see what they'd charge to do it.
