401 full wrap flights with standard 51mm (?) US style BB.

from that info bb will be standard U.S one....... if the spindle is an un threaded one...

however some redlines had different spindles , depending on the what years they're from, which may affect the bb type you need

check out this thread , covers a lot of redline gens ,and the bb that go with em, if you're unsure when it lands post up a pic , you'll get a definite answer from someone then
