OK here we go,
The full length of the forks is 31.1/2in, They are single disc.
Wheel spindle dia 12mm.
The right bottom spindle hole has a steel sleeve in it to reduce hole size for spindle.
if removed the hole would be 24mm.So bigger spindle no problem.
The other leg has a 12mm threaded hole,This could be bored out and re-tapped to around 18mm.
The wheel size is 2.15x17.You could use the 600 wheel if the yoke spacing would allow you.

These days a abandoned project is probably the cheapest way of getting a good early axle.
