If the frequency responses and the impedance curves were the same, you would have a good chance of a simple swap.
IF they were the same type radiator, then the .15in difference in the radius would only impose a small phase shift at 20KHz (up where the full wave length is only about 5/8 inch and .15 less than 1/4 WL).
However, soft domes are mostly a traveling wave radiator (not a piston up high) where as the hard dome has piston motion up to the breakup F (s).
For that reason there may well be differences up high.
If you have not removed your bad tweeter, you might do that now.
Then with it in front of you, cruse Parts Express, Madisound etc and see if you can find the driver you have. Those parts companies often have the same drivers mfr's used (or with minor mods) in their products.
If your speaker wasn't from a giant company, you may well find it at those web sites.
Good Luck and if you can't find it and really want to fix the speakers, this isn't the end of the road so far as what can be done but requires you to go a bit deeper.
