Same size, but 1 width fitting difference between the 888 and 202 should work for me too, I think.
^ That would be in line with the following:
Length and width look about the same here.
On the 888 I wear 8.5/9F and a 8.5/9E on the 202 if that helps.

202 is a tad wider than 888, has a higher instep and is also a shorter last than 888. It's hard to comment on whether sizing down would work. Best to try some sizes on to be more certain.

Here's an explanation of the Edward Green lasts by Tony Gaziano. For those that don't know, he designed the 888 and 82 lasts, and certainly worked extensively with the others. This is taken from the London Lounge Site posted November 7, 2005. I hope this is OK to post it here, since I don't know how to link directly to it.
"Hi Guys
Just to clarify, the 606, 202 are the same family and the 888,82 last are the same family, the last that was produced for Fosters was the 88 last and the 32,33 last were the parents of the 202,606.
so the EG last order goes like this.
first the 32 round toe last
second the 33 square toe version of the 32
third the 202, adapted 32 to fit better
fourth the 606 square toe version of 202
fifth 808 elegant square toe based on the 88 but did not fit well
sixth 89 developed for R.Lauren as a better fitting 808
seventh 888 bespoke looking last developed from 202 but longer and narrower toe box
eighth 82 round toe based on 888
ther have been other lasts produced by EG but mostly for other customers, not EG core range.
there are also numerous slip-on last, but there development history is not as striaght forward.
Tony"
