I think it is really possible, indeed. The radiant by 2000 NY40 can be calculated by its orbit as

This radiant seems to be nearer to IAQ (iota-Aquarids). But I haven't found any velocity determined of IAQ.
If comparing the Vg & radiant position comprehensively, Alpha Capricornids may have the best possibility.

Just a GUESSWORK. ;-)
