What you appear to have are standard (i.e. Not Raleigh)! CEI/BSC sized front hub spindles, but they should be, and probably are 26tpi (time to find someone with thread gauges).

BSC / CEI threaded spindles were 5/16" x 26tpi (7.938 x 0.977 pitch) for the Front and 3/8" x 26tpi (9.525 x 0.977 pitch) for the Rear.
