My first thought is the shop used what got the job done. Second that as a ft wheel I'm not surprised that the wheel has survived w/o further issues.
In 1976 the 27x1 1/4 (630 ISO) wheel size was pretty much ell one saw other than sew ups. Their spokes were typically around 4mm longer than 700C wheels, all else being the same. I've built quite a few dozen wheels with 312mm spokes. Andy
