I don't think you've misunderstood it Bikebuilder but you might be trying fit a square peg into a round hole... :)
I use a White Ind Eno hub which gives a 47.5 chainline (middle ring for an mtb I believe). White say their Eno cranks give a 47.5 chainline with a 113 BB. I used an el cheapo 113 BB to verify this and reckoned it was about 48 - then went for a 111 Phil knowing I had enough clearance and could tweak the chainline around 2mm if required (it wasn't in the end)
This only leaves me with about 3mm for the lockring to clear the shell - so I don't think a 103 would work for me. I guess White would know better though...
Have a look at this thread....

Some heated debate on there about what BB is required - with one chap vociferously stating you must use a 122(!) but most admitting that 110+ would be ok.
Unfortunately, when I was asking around, the general advice was always to try it out with a cheap BB first - hardly ideal I know :(
P.S I notice you say you are using Track hubs - you know the White Ind chainrings only go up to 44t, right?
