Suntour Suprebe cast magnesium crankset... i've never seen one before.. the hex spindle hole was not well received... i have a older CroMo Tony Hawk BMX, with a hex BB spindle, languishing in the boneyard with the NDS arm missing due to cracking... it will be getting parted out soon, or get a more typical crankset installed.....they are renown for cracking crank arms.
the folks on this site's "Classics and Vintage" sub-forum might have more info on it.

Suntour/SR Hexon Bottom Bracket is what goes with those cranks. Strange hexagonal BB axle
as far as "Mechanics" vs "C&V" either might work, thread above was "mechanics"
