I have no doubt that's feasible; and thanks to all for your thoughts. It seems a strange choice of phrasing though if that's what Jack intended - he was nothing if not eloquent. Moreover it doesn't seem terribly useful as dodges go. Sadly we can no longer ask him.
On further reflection, Jack says ANY of the later types; you couldn't do this with a 'D'type banjo...

You can use the banjo/torque tube from the early LWB axle here as well, effectively converting a LWB type to a SWB type. The screw-in (SWB) axle used the same type of side tube with the crown adjusters as the later axle, however the adjusters themselves don't have an oil return thread in them.
