a filed down 52 as a guard to a 48T shouldn't be that extreme. that picture shows a 52 with a 42. I figure the 48T's teeth are just about where the 52's solid ring is.

I've never heard of a standarad BB spindle shorter than 107mm. anyways, the axle and bearings that came with this specialized BB are made from some really nice metal, looks like high chrome tool steel thats been drop forged.
