LP stands for Low Profile and it's for bikes with a chain case which might foul a conventional drive side BB Cup with a lip.
You should be able to use any equivalent BB to replace it, unless there's a chain case?

Heya! This thread has been helpful in the past, so thought it was worth asking here:
Removed this BB from my partner's bike (90's-ish Dawes Galaxy). We got it a few years ago, but the previous owner had it from new. Not sure if they changed the BB at all.
I thought it was a normal British BB, but I'm confused because the cups are on the opposite side I was expecting - all the BB's I've installed so far have the integrated cup on the Right Drive side.
When unscrewing it, it went in the correct direction (i.e towards the front of the bike loosens it), so what's going on here?
You can't see in the photo but it says BB LP-20 on it.
Am I fine to replace it with a normal BSA / JIS BB?
