I believe that Motobecane stamped their pedals with an "M", along with stem bolt caps, etc, on their bikes.

The M may indicate MKS, a popular pedal manufacturer. First generation 105 indicate mid-1980s. I can confirm if it's Miyata if you post the serial number. If it Miyata, it's probably a model 310. In the event, that it it is not, pics would be an asset.
