Straight pull spoke measure

Hi all, first time post to Mechanics. I have searched google and BF but no luck with my specific question. Perhaps I am being too picky but I want to get it right the first time.
I need to replace some spokes on the drive side on a Zipp 404 carbon & aluminum clincher. Is the measurement overall length? or from the inside of the head. I get 242 oal and 240 from the inside of the head. Which one is correct?
Thanks!

IDK never seen those exact wheels .. you might consider : take an unbroken spoke out and measure it. ;)

I sold Wheelsmith Straight spokes for years, The length was measured to the inside of the head, (or said another way, not including the head) same as a nail or cap head screw.

You can go to the Zipp site and check out the tech sheets. They have excel spreadsheets for all the different years. Every spoke length for every wheel from every year.
