I picked this font family for it's extended, and rounded condensed styles. Noticing in particular when pairing

BoldCondensedRo1
RegularCondensedRo1 The regular condensed style is clearly NOT condensed. (Gonna have to cheat it)

I checked an old collection of Nimbus Sans font files that were part of a 2000 font bundle in an ancient version of Deneba Canvas from the 1990's. I'm still seeing the same width differences you're seeing. The Regular Condensed Ro1 style looks like a narrow style while the Bold Condensed Ro1 font is more compressed looking. It appears the width differences between those two fonts have always been there.
