Hello Greg, this case is not closed...

<<> Mark is correct. There never was an NR triple BB spindle.>>

I agree that there were never any NR Triple BBs, but I still stand by my assertion that the cups for #746 and #745 RECORD seem to be the same as NR 746/A and 745/A cups used on the NR... can anyone else clarify this?

<<Pg 31 Note the difference in bearing shoulder spacing between the 1046 set (wider spacing, Record), and the 1046/A set (narrower spacing, Nuovo Record).>>

In your quick review of Pg 31, you may have missed that the 1046/3 Record triple axle is not even pictured for comparison. The 1046 and 1046A pics seem to be taken from different angles. Therefore, I would not draw hasty conclusions unless a true picture comparison of NR vs Triple axles can be made.
