These seem to be one of the last clipped pedal designs to come out from a French maker, Stronglight in this case.
The pedal body is most likely made of glass reinforced resin. The separate cage pieces are anodized aluminum, and on this particular pair of pedals, the cage mounting screws are also aluminum. I have seen another example with what looks to be chromed steel, allen headed mounting screws. Other few examples I have seen also had a Stronglight brand symbol moulded on to the center of the resin body, so this example might either be a very early one or one that was made for Galli or Spidel by Stronglight. The inboard bearings are needle bearings riding directly in the tapered pedal axle, while the outboard ones are cartridge ball bearing units. Threading on this example is 9/16/20/ISO, but I have seen a pair with 14x125 French threading. Actual weight on my digital scale comes in at 251 grams without clips or straps, so very comparable to modern pedals like Look Keo Classics, that actually come in a few grams heavier.The PR300t also compares well weight-wise with the very light Assos pedals from Switzerland and the Vittoria pedals from Italy.
I suspect that these could be track pedals, as there's the absence of a side quill claw to hold the shoes in laterally. plus there seems to be very minimal provision of seals to keep the weather and dirt out of the bearings.
These pedals are not so common as it seems to be a last gasp for clipped pedals from France before Look and Time took over the pedal industry with their clipless pedals in the mid 80 to late 80's.
Toe clips are not provided with the pedals, but I assume alloy pedal clips and leather straps from French makers like "Christophe" will work well with these.
