cant use bits together unfortunately, just flog your 1.6 disks, 2.0 are gonna cost the earth, no more than £20 from your local halfords for standard jobbies

*Please not that I am not recommending this, far from it, merely answering the question!*
You could check what the centre line of orientation of each disc is, if that matches, the the diameter isn't an issue, you also need to check the tolerances of each calliper but as a fresh ATE pad has more than 2mm wear in it then that shouldn't be an issue. The problem is that they are single pot so any measurement taken would need to be with fresh parts and in summary it would probably cost more to find the answers than it would to buy the relevant stuff. 
I paid about £11 for pads and £38 for discs last time I bought the Astra valver brakes if that helps any? That was from my local friendly Speedy Parts guy.
