All those hubs have different inner drum widths - you can't even swop the drum braked cast wheels between the mono and a K series.
Thanks for the reply Steptoe
Do you know or think that the offset/mounting of the cast wheels would be in the correct postion (wheel alignment wise) ?
If it is a matter of the width of the brake shoes this could be solved possibly by using the shoes for that drum type plus the operating cam.
Whats your thoughts ?

I have read that the wheels on some bikes don't line up anyway, so I wouldn;t worry too much about that.
Maybe even check your current set up- you may be surprised at what you find!
Some of the K bikes had a spacer between the drum and the hub, and these have been used behind the spoke wheels on GS's to push the wheel over to enable large knobbies to be fitted, without any reported detriment to the handling.
