they may be galvanised. I would like some strong replacements, though it would be ideal if they could also match the finish.
You might struggle to find galvanised spokes. They still exist, but the superiority of stainless and the minimal price differential means that only the most penny pinching OEMs actually buy them. You can easily find plain gauge DT, Sapim or ACI stainless spokes from one of the favoured shops listed in this thread.

Redo the whole thing with decent spokes instead.

I am about 100 posts into working through this thread, so I'll save my wheelbuilding questions until I've finished the background reading.
Meanwhile, I need to purchase a few replacement spokes for the drive-side of my existing touring rear wheel (Campagnolo Nuovo Tipo small flange hub, Wolber Super Champion Modele 58 [27"] rim, with 36 spokes in a 3x spoke pattern). I would appreciate suggestions for a mail-order shop which can supply the following spokes cost-effectively, including shipping costs within/to the UK:
The original spokes are a dull grey finish shown in the photo below so they may be galvanised. I would like some strong replacements, though it would be ideal if they could also match the finish.
