The Oliv 'G' is 0.072
Those sizes (and more!) can be found on the 'Double Bass Strings' page at www.thebassspa.com

According to that chart it says a spiro mittel D is bigger than a spiro stark D... is that correct?

The data presented there were collected by several different people. I made the Mittel measurements myself but haven't had a Spiro Stark set here, just 'E' strings... Its possible that the gauge is correct but I don't think so.
Maybe its time I made another appeal for a measurement of a Spirocore Stark 'D' string. Anybody? DURRL?
