The usual "go to" place in the US would be: https://www.buchananspokes.com/
If this particular "Mk2A" has a Dunlop MC286 rear rim then the spoke nipples are likely to be 9 SWG x .300" (same as the front *non*-disc side nipples, part 063207) as listed in the Mk2/2A parts supplement...
...not the usual 10 SWG x .250" rear drum wheel nipples for the Dunlop MB41 rim.
Unfortunately, AN either doesn't know this or can't be bothered to include the information.
Some Mk2/2As had a Jones rear rim instead of Dunlop in which case I think the nipples are likely to be the normal 10 SWG x .250".
*(*Disc*-side nipples are 8 SWG x .300", AN part 06.2595)

If original, then your front disc rim should be stamped MC275.
If so, then the disc-side spokes should be 8 SWG and nipples (x20) should be 8 SWG x .300"...

... 9 SWG spokes and 9 SWG x .300 (x20) nipples on the opposite side of the wheel to the disc.

Yes, if you measure the (unthreaded section) spoke diameters then the original x20 disc-side spokes should be (approximately) .160" (8SWG) and the opposite x20 should be .144" (9SWG).
SWG = (British) Standard Wire Gauge.
SWG - Standard Wire Gauge
Imperial Standard Wire Gauge used with wire and sheet metal.
