BB ply (Baltic Birch Ply) should be Birch. There is also Appleply (marketed for a more American twist) that is either Birch or Alder laminations.
Now Birch being very tight grained like Maple doesn't take a oil-stain well without blotching. Dyes are going to be your best bet, and second would be a gel stain formulation that gives you more control over the application. A light cut shellac wash will help too.
