The old Oyster Patent crown will not fit in a regular (modern) 5.3mm tube. They are a different size. But if you have a regular/original tube trying to fit a modern 5.3mm, the threading (as you mention) may not be the same.
I have a couple of guides that show the crown tube type but with different refence numbers than the standard 5.3mm. See below.
