See freewheel sizes.
Traditional Thread-on Freewheels
It sounds odd if the parts are "new". But, apparently with vintage bikes, Italian, US, British, and ISO freewheels are generally interchangeable, but some may be tighter than others.
FRENCH IS NOT.
It's NOT a freewheel. It's a fixed gear track cog. They are all English threaded 1.370"x24tpi. Like I said, the bike shop guy that said it was different from the hub threading is full of ****.
