I'm surprised that 110mm axles are too thick for 110mm dropouts. Take it to a shop (Kalavinka?) and get them to look at it.
I also hope the axle nuts are tightened down just because, and that you're not trying to put them on like that.

RAP, Kalavinka should have them.
if that is a gran sport hub it should fit as their mold is Suntour/ Sansin copy.
