Seatpost size concerns

As I was musing in another topic, on my 1974 Zeus track bike project, “My stash of seat posts, one of which was surely on the bike, includes a couple far too small and one so tight it might be wrong too.” Well, sometimes I really hate measuring diameters with a micrometer because I get varying results; that said, the post seems really close to 27.2mm, the seat tube opening I get varying reads of 27.0 to 27.2-ish. The frame is “supposed to be” Reynolds 531, isn’t that always to be 27.2mm? I figure it might be smart to get a “generic” micro-adjusting post instead of a straight post and a clamp, kinda want to get the size correct the first time.
