They wouldn't fit
I also own a Victory style machine, I've never founded a good substitute bag that was cloth. Same goes for the type U bags since they've both machines have been discontinued long before cloth bags even became popular. Your best shot is to modify the cardboard by cutting out and gluing on from other cloth bags.

 Yes your only option would be to look for a 3rd party HEPA bag closest in style and dimensions to the OEM bags, and remove and glue on the collar from the OEM bag to replace the one on the HEPA. Or find a fill tube and locking ring that fits over the suction tube and install that to fit whatever bag you need in there. There is paper HEPA bags availble for this vaccuum on Amazon. If you want cloth HEPA you are on the right track with the Riccar bags, would just need modification. The Panasonic U-2 bags might work too. | ||

Gabriel - Yes, believe it or not, Paper HEPA bags have existed in the past. Kirby and Royal both had Paper HEPA bags before they introduced Cloth HEPA bags for their uprights. Also, some brands' paper bags actually meet HEPA requirements but aren't referred to as HEPA bags. Case in point - Aerus Electrolux. Their 4 ply and more recent Home Solutions bags meet HEPA H10 levels, 94% @ 0.3 microns.
So yes, such a thing does exist! :) | ||

That's interesting about the Electrolux/Aerus/Home Solutions bags. I feel better about having used those exclusively in all of my Aerus and 'Luxes thus far. I would be open to trying a HEPA bag in them. But, at least their paper bags are pretty much equivalent.
As I've acquired a few different Oreck vacuums and bags for same, I wonder how theirs compare to HEPA. The CELOC or "Allergen Filtration" for example. But, in my bag stash, I also discovered some that don't say HEPA, but they're individually packaged, and they're a thick, grey material that feels almost cloth-like. These are all Oreck brand. | ||
