Some cartridge BBs would work if the thread is ISO (not Whitworth). I say some because some have an adapter (the non-drive size separate collar) that does not bottom on the cartridge, like Shimano Octalinks. But some do bottom, meaning they have a lower limit to the BB width that they fit, like Shimano UN-53.

Chances are good, though, that a UN-53 would fit with a 1-2mm spacer set.
