To paraphrase, what you're asking is "Can I mix JIS and ISO taper cranks and BB?".
Thanks for the reply. Was more getting at, can you use a modern sealed JIS bottom bracket (square taper) with these older cranks? The Velo Orange one’s seem to be the only ones I can find with the right length spindle with Italian threading.

That depends upon who you trust: Sheldon Brown predicts all sorts of dire consequences, whereas Tstr says otherwise.
But there is a third way...
My own experience is that modern JIS and ISO are interchangeable, but older kit does vary: by "modern" I mean from the mid-Nineties.
A quick Duckle suggests that you're in a bit of a pickle: Apex were offered with both JIS and ISO tapers.
