What size are the hub axles, are they metric ( 8 mm front, 9.5mm rear), or imperial?

8mm front BSA S axle
9.42mm rear @ the threads (the axle is tapered in the center) BSA D axle

There is a lot of Enlglish content on this bike, could it be English in origin?

BSA:
Crank arms
23T Chain Ring
8T rear sprocket
Headset
Bottom bracket
Hubs
Axles

Schwinn seat post

Conloy Sprint wheels ( 1930s constrictor wheel)

Phillips pedals

Was just wondering if the threads themselves are metric threads?
Those wing nuts still look very French to me, particularly the rear wheel examples' design.
BSA stuff was widely used by many manufacturers worldwide, as you are no doubt aware.
Those Conloy rims do suggest possibly British origin though. Those rear dropouts are very distinctive too, probably the key to the manufacturer I think.
