Not sure if anyone else counted the number of teeth 24, on the added pictures.
That may explain things - swapping one mfgr's part for another - to allow the rider to pedal easier.
And then, not too many chain rings will interface with the Emblems 2" x 1" (offset/hole) cranks.
https://thecabe.com/forum/threads/sprocket-compilation-pic-heavy.41683/page-8#post-913538 (2nd picture; lower crank).
So, Emblem lasted a couple of decades or so longer than Miami Ohio, what was the old-connection, if any?
I thought that 480,000 was a relatively high (later) serial number, past Miami's time (and Pierce's too).

Hello and thank you for your help in the matter. Here is a photo of the serial number... This may help or add to the mystery.
