Will it fit? Andover shows differing part numbers for the two bikes. Hubs are different, conical disc brake vs drum, but is the spoke drilling different?

No.

Polished cast aluminum conical hub measures 9" on drive side and 4" on disc side.
Rims must be drilled specifically to fit this hub due to the severe offset of the rim to the hub.

Apparently, there are two types of Mk2/2A Dunlop rear rim.

MB41 with .250" nipple holes and MC286 with .300" holes.

Some Mk2/2A also have Jones rear rims.
