You'll notice that every brand of beauty dish for every line of strobes is just a little bit different. The reason is the spread/spill of light that comes out of the flashtube, optimizing it through the mount to get the right coverage and intensity. And this is a slight problem you might have even if you machined say a Profoto dish to mount to an Alien Bee head or whatever. Not to say that it wouldn't work quite well, but the PRECISE effect would no doubt be different.
I'm guessing because I don't know the Novatron line that well, but the Novatron probably wasn't designed originally as a beauty dish (an umbrella-type reflector) but probably as a wide angle reflector, which is a sort of barebulb source.
