Have you compared the NP205 rear bearing retainer and the one off the NP200 that is also the brake support? Bearings are different, but both have same bolt pattern. See how close the NP205 bearing will fit the NP200 retainer (NP200 is tappered roller, NP205 is ball). Some machine work/shimming might be required. You can have the NP205 yoke cut and NP200 cut, swapped, welded to match splines and then be able to mount brake drum. Take shaft length measurement from support surface to end of shafts. You may find it to be a doable thing.
