Turn them over, if the back of the arm has a groove then they are MTB, if they do not then they are BMX.

Like Stidds said you'll need to ask the seller if the have the hollowed out backs, if they do then they are Mtb cranks, not really strong enough for bmx use, (but they will fit a bmx).

I suspect they will be mtb crank arm as sellers normally photograph both sides when they are solid.

well worth asking though!

Good luck

Ditto Stidds & Dan , only saw some hollowed out ones on .com a couple of days ago .

Also MTB ones are generally shorter  :daumenhoch:
