Lacing pattern for vintage 40 spoke rear wheels (and front ones)

[Dr pepper]

Not that I'm Ott on restoring my vintage bicycle to original, however what would be a typical spoke lace for a 50's commuter.
I've done 3 and 4 cross enough times to be good at it.
The SA Gh6 that came with mine according to the previous owner was originally laced radial, surely that can be right can it.

Radial lacing on that Sturmey-Archer hub is correct and original.

For a strong, typical pattern:

Use Two-Cross (2x) lacing for both front and rear wheels. It's the standard for vintage commuters.
