Jim: So, it's possible that even though there isn't physical play between the hub and freewheel that the freewheel still might be BSA?

I know the hub is French thread because the last freewheel to come off it was French Thread.
That is correct. Sometines it comes down to the total number of threads. If the hub has 3/4" of thread and the freewheel has 3/4" of thread there's a better chance of it working than if the hub and freewheel both have 1" of thead.

If the Shimano freewheel is BSA thread it will.
