I've Stocked Campagnolo and Fulcrum Aluminum Spokes

I've stocked Campagnolo and Fulcrum aluminum spokes.

The Campagnolo is WH-105SHM
(Wheel 105 Shamal Mille),
and the Fulcrum is R0-117B
(Racing Zero 117 Black).
Both are radially-laced front wheel spokes.

With these two spokes, the spokes themselves
have the same stamping, so the length and specifications should be identical.
I think I know which ones match which,
but I stocked them to get confirmation.

Both had the stamping "69".
When there's a dot next to the numbers,
it indicates the orientation by showing where the dot continues after the number.
69 looks the same even upside down,
but for cases where you can't tell if it's "68" or "89",
if it says "68•" then it's confirmed as 68.
Well, spokes with an "89" stamping
don't exist, at least not at this point.

The spokes have completely identical specs, but

the supplied nipples have different specs.
Beyond just color, there's the factor of whether
a nylon locking ring is embedded at the outer end,
but these are both nylon nuts from a timing perspective.

For the WH-105SHM and R0-117B,
the 005 and 017 spokes—one hundred units before the next model number—
are from the Shamal Mille and
Racing Zero Nite before the wide rim conversion (C15→C17),

and have the stamping "––".

The "––" and "69" spokes are exactly the same length,
but 005 and 017 correspond to the old nipples that aren't nylon nuts,
and the new nipples have the thread start position moved inward,
so the thread length differs.
That said, new spokes are backward-compatible, so
they can be used as spare spokes for the old nipple era,
and the threads won't protrude from the nipple,
and even pairing new nipples with old spokes
won't cause the threads to bottom out.
Of course, this assumes the spoke length is correct.

Knowing that "––" and "69" are the same length means
if the "––" that came out earlier ever gets discontinued,
I already know what spokes can substitute for it, so there's no problem.
I probably know all those correspondences.

The WH-105SHM from the beginning
sometimes arrives with "///" stamping, which is the same length as the "69" stamping.
If there's even one past case of that, it gets recorded here.
The WH-205SHB for Shamal Ultra
(Shamal Black, not Shamal Mille) also uses the same spokes
as the WH-105SHM and R0-117B in terms of the spoke portion.
From experience, R0-117B and its red spoke version plus
the Competizione lettering variant R0-117R
more often have "///" stamping rather than "69",
but all the R0-117R currently in stock had "69•".
