I have another question on this. Why did Campy switch to a nutted design with the second version of the SR BB axle? Chuck's Campy Timeline indicates that the second version also switched to a solid rather than hollow axle. Did the hollow ones break? (Seems I've heard it said they did.) If so, the switch to solid makes sense, but what advantage did they see in a nutted axle? Most other nutted axles at the time were on lower end stuff like Sugino Maxy.

Or, another way of asking the question: is the early Super Record titanium spindle that used bolts, compatible in every way (cups, bearings), with the later spindle that used nuts?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
