Does anyone know the exact dimension of a Raleigh 3-speed bottom bracket spindle?

I got a 1956 Robin Hood (hub date) and the previous people messed with the bottom bracket. What it has now is a 130 mm spindle, which I think is the right overall length. However, the internal dimensions must be wrong because the adjustable cup is pretty much flush with the shell so there is no lock ring. A lock ring would not fit there so they probably took it off. I saw there are many different Raleigh spindles for sale but they are all slightly different.

thanks,
