Omark Barrel Adaptor identification

Hi all,
Just hoping someone here can help me with identifying the Omark barrel adaptor that is on my 308 Omark action. My Omark has a Maddco barrel on it. I've checked the thread on mine and it's a 1" x 16tpi.
The reason for this question is I've bought a fairly new 5.56 barrel and although the tenion is almost the same dimensions it has a 1" x 14tpi thread.
I thought all these adaptors used the same thread size but I must be wrong.
Cheers Mick

Back before adapters were purpose made, Nev Madden & likely others made them out of the butt ends of old Omark barrels, which resulted in either a separate recoil lug or one sweated or glued to the adapter. That looks like that type.
