Campy Super Record BB Alloy Cups Steel Spindle

I've searched all of the Campy BB literature that I've collected over the years. They only mention titanium spindles with SR BBs.

Did Campagnolo ever make steel spindles for Super Record bottom brackets with thick rifled alloy cups that used 3/16" BBs?

They started providing Steel BBs with SR gruppos after all the issues with the Ti spindles.

I have a BSC Campy BB with thick alloy cup that I took out of a frame a long time ago. It has 14 caged 3/16" BBs per side and a chrome plated 109mm symmetric spindle marked 68-SS. The PO had used it with SR cranks???

Suterland's 5th Edition mentions Post 1979 SR and C-Record BBs with thick alloy cups and either 114.5mm asymmetrical spindles for Super Record or 109mm symmetrical spindles for C-Record. No mention whether the SR spindles are Ti or steel???

Is there a steel spindle that I can use with these thick alloy cups? I have both pre-CPSC and post-CPSC cranks so a ~112mm or ~114.5mm spindle will work.
