An Astra beam won't fit the mounting points are different, you'd be better off keeping the Nova beam & spacing the stub axle off the beam, TAS used to do (still do ?) a wide track kit that used 50mm spacers on the rear to widen the track, should be able to get something machined up at a local engineers, then all you'll need is 8 longer bolts to hold the stub axle back on.
You may also need to alter brake lines / cables ?

They are the hub/drum units which unbolt from the rear beam with 4 bolts.
