This is a nightmare in a bubblecar area!
The date of the change was 1977 ( some of both in that year) see number in diamond on the crank for year.
Firstly the chainline will be altered if you use the wrong axle. I haven't tried it but if you used a 112mm axle with post 1977 chainset then wouldn't the chain rub on the frame? It may be ok the other way around.
Secondly the spindle taper in those days is not the same as ISO or JIS these days. So you will need an original spindle or a Phil Woods type alternative.
Thirdly the spindles (axles) differed - there were two types . There were BB's with thick walled cups and BB's with thin walled cups. Accordingly the spaces between the races on the spindle varied.
You need to have a thin walled spindle for thin walled BB cups!.

ps see very bottom re my first point.
pps Have you checked the cranks for cracking? Super Records of that era were notorious for it.
