Might be able to use thin wire and make my own but that sounds a bit of a pain and risky.
To those of you who used a new NSK bearing (elgyqc homeoboxter and others,) did you reuse your old circlip?

No, it won't work, one is a wire clip, the one in your photo is a circlip and way to large to fit between the factory bearing and the tube.
