Is this a DUB crank?
I think I messed up when tired on ebay. At first glance I thought this was GXP but in the cold light of day I think I’ve bought a DUB version?
If so, question 2;
Does anyone have a preferred option for squeezing one of these into a road PF shell designed for 24mm axles? I’ve seen a few options none of which seem ideal.

This is a Cube frame so suspect not the most precise alignment.

Sorry, I don’t quite understand the question. There is no BB, I’m asking what sort of BB might be best (or least worst) for this somewhat mismatched application should it turn out I bought the DUB version. But it sounds/looks from eric’s photos above like maybe my first half-asleep instinct was right and that is GXP which would be great as it’ll be a straight swap as there’s a GXP BB in there at the moment.
Can’t cancel the order, they shipped it while I was asleep

Interesting that it's a SRAM format crank with Shimano rings. Unless SRAM has different spline patterns for MTB DUB and road DUB, it looks to me like it's 24mm GXP. Good luck!

rest of the pictures don’t show the axle, just the quarq cranks and close-ups of the chainrings. But here’s the listing if it clarifies anything.

If sounds to me like it's going to work as intended. GXP replacing GXP.

Dub is rounded splines, and they mesh into the drive side... spindle dia. looks under 1" too...
