Yes, the 185 and 200 carbs are identical other than the mainjet, pilot jet, and needle taper. You can use a carb kit for an ATC200 in a 185 carburetor. It is basically the same thing as adding a "Jet kit" when used on the ATC185 engine, and it should run fine because the 185 is jetted lean from the factory. (The 200 was as well)
The only cost effective carburetor on the market is the XR200R carb. It's 2mm larger, but you need the larger XR intake too and it will require mods to align your carb with the airboot to the airbox. The XR intake puts the carburetor in a "straight shot" direction to the center of the frame.

Bing,
The XR and XL 185 engines are the same as the XR200 engines with only the same variances that apply to the ATC185 and ATC200 engines.
Regarding the carburetor......that's a very interesting question. Those 185 bikes were pretty scarce back then and even more scarce today. I don't even know for sure if I've even looked at a 185 dirtbike carburetor up close to tell you anything for sure. I do know that the XR200 engines are the same as those that were used in the 185 bikes, other than the cylinderbore and piston, but I do not know which type of carbs were used on them.
