The ironic thing is that the Northern line needs extra trains in the same
time-scale, but I don't suppose there would be any chance of using
redundant 92TS on that line alongside the slightly newer 95TS. Had those
lines shared a standard design, it would have been feasible.


92 stock would be too big I think. It definitely appears higher and wider.

Not according to the dimensions quoted in Wikipedia: the 92 TS cars are
shown as lighter, narrower, shorter and lower than the 95TS. See
