It is possible that it was a special, but I suspect not.
Colchester always tried for standardisation, probably to help their export
market.
I would check out the threads of the right pitch, close to those
measurements.
5/8 CEI and I believe a couple of other less common ones in that same area.
Plus there is an M16 in the 1mm series, which would be close to pitch,
(I suspect that your OD and ID in your message are transposed.)

I hesitate to raise a new topic since my last effort resulted in a debate of
such intensity that one of our erstwhile members was driven to drink ( Good
luck with the rehab. Harry). However - here goes:-
The collet drawbar on my trusty Colchester Chipmaster has just stripped and
I am having great difficulty in identifying the (female) thread. The collets
are Boxford 327(5C) type and the thread measures 0.598ins. O.D. and 0.632
ins. I.D. It is 26 tpi. Solve the mystery and I promise never to mention the
word "accidents" on this forum ever again!
Regards,
Barrie
