Bikes: 1940s Fothergill, 1959 Allegro Special, 1963? Claud Butler Olympic Sprint, Lambert 'Clubman', 1974 Fuji "the Ace", 1976 Holdsworth 650b conversion rando bike, 1983 Trek 720 tourer, 1984 Counterpoint Opus II, 1993 Basso Gap, 2010 Downtube 8h, and...

That depends on the relative sizes of the hub flanges. If the new hub and the old hub have the same dimensions, then the spokes should fit. Frankly, this is not likely. In most cases a dynamo hub has larger flanges than a non-dynamo hub, so you will need shorter spokes.

There are a lot of spoke calculator programs; some of them are discussed here: https://bikefat.com/5-best-spoke-length-calculators/
