If you are on the west coast...

Did you actually measure the old spokes assuming you are tearing down a wheel for a rebuild?

I agree, that this seems pretty long for a 2x wheel, though it may be possible with a small flange hub and single wall rim. The OP should check all his measurements anew before having spokes cut.
BTW- on a small flange 32h hub the length difference between 2x and 3x isn't great, so he shouldn't feel that there's any benefit in terms of availability in 2x vs. 3x. The spokes exist either way, so he should choose the build he wants then source the spokes, and not the other way around.
