What I am suggesting is - if the 961 barrels and cylinder head become available as spares, or from an Asian supplier, it might be worth modifying early Commando crankcases to accept them - or even casting new crankcases to fit the old Commando frame, and accomodate the newer top end. It all depends on costs and economies of scale. A new Full Auto cylinder head is not cheap and neither are aluminium barrels. The crankshaft will always be a problem, but not insurmountable.
