Hope pro 3 questions

I have a set of these with a chewed freehub. No problem I thought as I have a spare one. On inspection though, the one on the hub has a spacer between the bearings but my spare seems to have this machined in to the freehub body. Is this just an evolution of the freehub and can I simply swap them over, or is this from a different hub and not compatible? Seems to fit ok.

Next question, what bearings do I need as the ones in situ aren't great and it would save me a job having to remove them to find out what they are (assuming the spare freehub takes the same bearings).

Don't they have full specs and details on their website?

They do, just wondering if anyone has any knowledge/experience with swapping over different freehubstyles as the specs only go into what the stock parts are for the hub.

So I've been a bit of a tool, the freehub in question looks to be the same, without bearings it looks as though there is no spacer for the washer, but there is in reality.

Does anyone know a good source of bearings. Mine are OK, but want to get a set just in case I need them in future, I have a few pro II and Pro II Evo bearings, but they aren't the same sadly due to differing axle diameters, which is rather annoying.

FAG and SKF are good quality.
