There are various Lyotard pedals on eBay right now with French threading, such as:

Consider re-tapping your cranks to English. Since 9/16" = 14.3mm, you can convert French thread cranks to English, but not vice-versa.

I've got a pair of Lyotard 45's that I'll never use because they're too narrow for my big American feet. I retapped my French-thread cranks.

a few of the lyotard models use the same spindles, so if you don't like mod. 45 but prefer the M23's a swap should be no problem
