What looks like what was done here is move the taper coupling inside the
eccentric rotor journal as compared to what Mazda did. This has the effect of
reducing the width of the intermediate housing required.

It might work but there is a question of the stress level right where
the taper goes into the eccentric rotor journal. Mazda must of had
a reason for doing it the way they did.
