Default Panhead primary oil return fitting thread pitch?

Im working with a set of NOS std cases. The bike is up and running but I made a big mistake and forgot to install a plug for the primary oil return while the motor was out and the oil pump was off. Now I have a threaded hole that’s hard to get to behind the oil pump and doesn’t seem to fit a 1/8 npt like the other oil holes on the case. Any idea what thread pitch that is? Options? Photos I found online to show the factory fitting and the hole location in question. The hole is just inboard of the oil pump.
