Sutherland's says the the Lambert crank bolt threads are 5/16" by either 26 or 22 TPI.

I don't think the dealers could keep up with the changes and problems as they were being made. After the Lambert fiasco I remember a sales visit from Viscount, the supposedly improved "son of Lambert". Those Viscount salesman had the toughest job on earth except being the Lambert production planner.
