While I don't have the answer to your question, I do have some information that might be useful to you. I once tried to adapt a Norman 22" reflector to fit a Balcar strobe. It didn't work because the Balcar strobe wouldn't fit far enough into the reflector. The Balcar flash tube is recessed into the face of the strobe housing and the Norman flash tube is mounted forward of the reflector mount. The Norman flash tube is entirely inserted into the beauty dish. Balcar and white lightning mounts are roughly the same, but I am not certain that a White Lightning beauty dish would work on a Balcar head for the same reason. The only good way to find out is to try them.
