You could expect two D200's to be very similar (mine were, I couldn't tell the difference) and probably two D7000's but I don't think Nikon try to synchronise every model, and retain backward comparison too, esp with RAW (NEF) files, because by definition RAW filed need processing anyway, that's the idea. A raw file has not been processed in any way.
But when you take a RAW image into Lightroom Lightroom does process the JPEG and 'enhances' it. So you MAY be seeing the results of Lightrooms behind the scenes processing, which again may well be different from one camera to another.
If you want instantly 'ready' images take JPEG to TIFF's but you won't get the range of adjustment you get with an NEF.
Are you sure the D200 isn't set to vivid? From my memory that setting is fairly hidden ... Although that should not affect an NEF.
