Cylinders IME often have either a male threaded connection, onto which

often, the cylinder connection is just a protrusion of stainless /
copper pipe of appropriate size, onto which they expect the installer to
fix a compression fitting. If yours was previously installed and was of
the second type, you may now have a compression fitting with the
original outer compression nut and olive missing. That fitting might be
3/4" and not BSP. The outer diameter of 3/4" pipe is slightly smaller
than 22mm. That usually means that with some effort you can get a 22mm
compression fitting to mate with 3/4" pipe, but you can't get 22mm pipe
into a 3/4" compression fitting.

A photo of what you have would help...

Well it has the internal bevel you would expect on a compression
fitting. The discolouration of the internal surface also looks like
something that may have at one time had a pipe in it. Can't see the
shoulder / end stop for the pipe though.

If you can measure that ID, and its around 21.5mm, then its expecting a
3/4" pipe.
