those crank arms do look similar but not exactly the same. A clone would be a copy but a similar product is not necessarily a copy.The hubs and pedals really had an almost identical design (except of the logos of course) whereas the (early) GPM crank sets just had a similar style as Campagnolo.
The dimensions and the square taper inserts as well as the corresponding bottom brackets were different, too.
Also GPM came up with a fully aerodynamic crank design before campagnolo even offered half non fluted cranks.

I think it's just fine. There were many "poor cousins" to Campy that were better in many views:
Ofmega's Mistral crankset
Universal's AER brakeset
Gipiemme's seat posts
Ofmega Sintesi/Avocet's version pedals
There's a guy in Chicago that likes to put together all-Italian bikes with no Campy components.
His stuff is great.

Looks like top quality Italian to me

Gipiemme Crono Sprint crank and front derailleur. This Moser is Falck chrome-moly, not Columbus, so I went with mostly Gipiemme and Miche, instead of Campy. The Crono Sprint (and Gipiemme Sprint pedals) components on this bike are perfectly good and fine, but I do not consider them to have the finish of Campy. Pretty close, though.

Gipiemme coke spoon retrofrictions (870BC) are pretty nice, as are the 600CA and 600AA seatposts.
