You cam't beat having sets of Thread Gauges to discover what this "new" thread is, in terms of size, pitch and thread form.

Can't guarantee covering every possibility, there will always be some unusual "Specials", but Whitworth, Metric and Unified gauges will cover most of what you come across., even odd ball such UNEF, or Metric extra fine, such as 12 or 14 x 1 ( For Emco lathes in particular )

I haven't got BA, but experiment using known nuts or setscrews, as gauges.

A relatively small expenditure to provide answers to many queries.
