Mavic wheel help

So, this evening I thought I'd have a go at getting out the rattly part. Success, it literally fell out of the valve hole after a minute so that's a bonus. Pic below of the remnants.

Now on to the next 2 challenges.

Challenge 1 - spoke.
The wheel came with a full complement of spikes so seemed ok in they respect aside from one not being screwed in much. I removed it while trying to get the rattly nipple out. When I came to put it back in, it became obvious as to why it wasn't screwed in very far, I think it's too short. If I lay it up against another fitted spoke with the nipple fully down, it sits way higher than the fitted spokes.

So where may I find a non drive side zicral spoke in black for a 700c Ksyrium wheel?

Challenge 2 - freehub
Nothing wrong with the one on there aside it being campaign and I need Shimano. Where can I get one? Are other Mavic free hubs compatible?

I'm having trouble identifying the wheel model as the decals, while nice and shiny silver, don't have a model/version, just some logos for tech such as maxtal, SSC, zicral etc.

What length is the spoke?
We've got a few dozen various in a bag.

All mavic wheels have a serial number.
Easiest source of a freehub is a broken wheel, but tbh the pawls are reliable and the bearings are replaceable.
There are quite a few different mavic fhbs - again there's a drawer full at the shop, but I don't think one of yours.

The usual demise of a rimbrake mavic wheel is wear to the rim, which cost almost as much a the whole wheel, so hub and spoke spares are around.
 
Thanks, I'll take a spoke out and measure.

Rims on these are fine braking surface wise.

If I can find a serial number I'll let you know, if you have a freehub, great, if not I've got eBay looking for hubs ;)
