It might be. I think with my 240's you can change it frm 130 to 135 by just replacing the endcaps. Dura ace is high up on the totem pole so maybe it has a similar thing

You can do it. Adding spacers (washers) between the cones & locknuts (or just locknuts for cartridge bearings) will do it, just make sure to add the same amount to each side.
As roadbikes went from 5 to 6 to 7 speeds this was a common upgrade. Of course, these were freewheel hubs, not cassette, but the general principle is the same.
