Hmm, that's a bit mysterious. I'd really think that an older Moto would have French-threaded BB cups. Perhaps a previous owner had forced some English cups in there, screwing up the threading? I managed to force a English-threaded sealed BB unit into an early 80s Peugeot bottom bracket. Wasn't pretty but it did work.
