Nexus 7 internal gear hub sg 3001 with back paddle brake, exchangeable?

Page may contain affiliate links. Please see terms for details.
I have a nexus 7 internal gear hub wheel with a back paddle brake. If possible would like to swap it out with an roller brake that i already have laying around.
I read conflicting information about if this would be possible or not with some saying absolutely not and other saying yes, just swap over the module so i can someone give me the right answer? It's an SG-c3001 (the updated version)

No. Different shell on the hub.

Yes it is quite interesting i found a YouTube of someone taking it apart and removing the coaster brake(he removed the parts that make it brake when you back paddle then put the housing back.)
What i mainly find interesting about it is that with the ''Rollerbrakes'' and the ''centerlock'' thing that allow either disc or hydraulic brakes they went out of their way to create an system them makes brakes types relatively easily swapable, and then to go on and create an other with the least popular brakes and make them unswapable, especially considering internal gears are seen as i specialty i can't get my head around the logic behind that.
