If I'm remembering the bearings correctly, the answer is NO.  I 
prefer the non-caged bearing.  Fewer but bigger rollers.  My trans is 
a TR-6 with a conglomeration of various years parts inside.  I 
originally had a bushing that was the dimension of the early 
non-caged bearing.  The output shaft has a different nose diameter 
(larger) for the caged bearing.
