tranny bearing question

Apologies if this has been covered ad nauseum. Please bare with me... on my 1975 850 tranny I would like to replace the lay shaft with a roller type bearing and eliminate the Portuguese self destructing ball bearing.


I see in the Norton notes they recommend NJ203E roller or C3 if you really want to.
Is this the same as FAG NJ203E-TVP2-C3?
I'm just not sure what the additional TVP2 means.
Hoping you can clear this up for me.
Thanks

According to the FAG technical information, TVP2 denotes "Moulded polyamide window-type cage; rolling element riding".

Thank you very much. I have ordered mine today
