spoke length question

Using spocalc, and measuring with Verniers here is what I got:

FRONT WHEEL = 292.1mm (both left & right, which seems, to make sense with a symmetrical hub, right?)

REAR WHEEL = 291.5mm right; 291.4mm left

1) These are track hubs. Does it make sense that the front spoke needs to be longer? (maybe just my measuring error, as that is a small difference)

2) What length spoke would you order for the front? 292mm, 291mm, 290mm?

3) What length spoke would you order for the rear? 291mm or 290mm?

Maybe I can just get all 290s...
