The botton bracket that usually came with a SR groupset was the Nuovo Record bottom bracket - the one with the steel axle and the rifling in the cups - as on this bike. I think it was refered to as the 'reduced' Super Record groupset as the Super Record groupset had proven to be a bit fragile due to the titanium axle failures on the BB and earlier on the hub spindles. There is a popular photograph of Laurent Fignon on the ground just after his BB axle broke.
