Hi, without going into too much history, a simple plan would be to get a Carlton with 531 tubing, these should have a standard set of threads. My reading of Carlton models ( which will be corrected I'm sure ) is only the lesser models from the mid sixties onwards, made from cheaper non 531 ( avoiding the gas pipe reference ) tubing will have the Raleigh B/B and headset/fork.

If you're looking for something comfy you could do worse than a Corsair, I had one afew years ago and loved it, only sold it as it was always a tad too big....some have 531 main tubes only, according to the Reynolds transfer on mine it had 531 butted main tubes, fork blades and stays.
It rode a treat and even had rack mounts that fit perfectly to early Blackburn racks.....some have pressed droputs some have cast rear dropouts with deraillieur mount.
I'd have another tomorrow.
