If you're looking at 3 spoke wheels then I think you want the later sort with spokes that get thinner towards the rim. Mine are like that anyway.
Earlier 3 spoke wheels had spokes which get fatter towards the rim.
Its a fair bet that the change in spoke design happened at the same time as the change to the bigger spindle ... though I can't say for absolute certain.
It’s my belief that the early (Spokes fatter at rim) and some later three spoke wheels (Spokes fatter at hub) are interchangeable provided you have the right axle, speedo drive bearings and spacer. Some later three spokes (Spokes fatter at hub) don’t have provision for a mechanical speedo drive (The speedo drive changed to electronic pick up from back wheel instead of mechanical cable drive).

I would spend some time checking out the bearing sizes.
