Thanks Bob.
My Googling did eventually find some instances of not only reaming but also broaching and, on larger bearings, even hammering being used to size white metal bearings, generally as a short cut to reduce costs. As you suggest, the consensus seemed to be that it's not a preferred method; but viable at a pinch.
