Yeah, it's a little poopy, but enlarging the centers on a lathe is not big deal. Using large centers on small hubs would likely be no problem with the protuding centering type lugstuds. A ring would be cuper easy to have cut to center the drum on too.
  Moving used hubs around will likely result in failure. For a driver in a dire need of a hub. I'd have it setup for double keyways, clean with brake clean, apply bearing loctite, green I think, and then install. Of course this means removing the axle too.
