Jaap, are you aware that there is a 70mm back available for the
Bronica ETRS(i) series?....;-)) 
At least one member of this list uses one.
Ilford SFX 200 has been promised as 120, but sofar no confirmation.

The striking fact is that decades ago, Ilford had a leading position in 
IR-emulsions (only plates AFAIK). 
Any UK-members old enough to give some insight in their past and
present motives?
