Those are the late 1970's Hi-E pedals. They used a dropped pedal cage that placed the sole of the shoe on the axle centerline. This provided an extremely stable pedal platform that was not as prone to tipping, even when standing. They would become the inpsiration for Shimano's early 1980's Dyna-Drive pedals and were one of the company's better ideas.
