I crawled under the 94 NPR and, sure enough, the transmission is a JR403E. The JR403E also has a seperate bellhousing but it looks a lot different than the A442F in my FJ62. I would doubt that the bellhousing portions would interchange.

I found a transmission cross listing which confirmed what George said that the Aisin 450-43L was introduced in 1999. In 1999, the 4HE1-TC engine was being installed in the Isuzu NPR and that engine, according to David of http://www.isuzudieselswapper.com/, has a totaly different back end so transmissions are not interchangeable with the 4BD1/2 engines.

Here are some photos of the JR403E case that happens to be listed on ebay:
