Since your Messenger crank needs a 103mm JIS BB, and your Sugino BB is a 109mm ISO BB, the extra length and the narrower taper may cancel each other out and leave you with a chainline that's within 1-2mm of perfectly straight.
Unbelievable.
I'd still buy a new 103mm JIS bottom bracket for $25, but you just may be in luck.
It might work, but it would messed up the cranks over time.
