The old bearings slide perfectly onto both old and new camshaft. I just don’t understand why a new bearing wouldn’t fit onto a new camshaft if the diameter is correct.
I need a bearing with a larger inside diameter than “stock” to fit through my camshafts

If your ID measurement is accurate, your bearings are out of spec or were mislabeled.
The bearing is spec'd to work with cam journal diameters from 1.8992 to 1.8997:

Your 1.895 measurement is clearly too small to be "in spec" and explains your issue, but why seems a mystery....
