I'm also attaching a 1983 Campagnolo cataolgue, just for kicks.

Between confusing posts, symetrical vs non-symetrical spindle length and JIS vs ISO taper I'm already wishing I would have bought an IRD clone of this crankset and I would have hard and fast specifications on what BB to use ;^(

I would assume it's ISO, considering a Campy crankset of that vintage would have been JIS only through some kind of custom machining. As for symmetrical or non-, your double chainrings would call for a non. Now, what kind of frame is this for and how are your BB cups threaded? :-) V-O has had the Italian threaded cartridge BB on sale for a while now.

1973 Raleigh Competition (68mm bottom bracket shell, English threads) Unless I get serious recommendations to do otherwise I'm going to buy a 115mm sealed BB.

Ah, yes. It did say that in your post, didn't it? oops. 115 sounds about right.
