Could you please post a pic of the tweeter or front of the
speaker?. I could have one sitting on the shelf, you never know.
Also some tweeters are 6 ohms...Vifa made many. There are also
small faceplate models avail. if you need to get different ones.
Follow Ups:
Once you pull away the thick felt there is a metal frame, no decorative face plate. Everything on the back of the speaker reads like so.

Norway usually means SEAS brand and H341 is the model#.
I didn't see that exact model# on the seas site...does it look like
this one? (see link).I think you'll have to just replace both with a similar type. I do
have similar 6 ohm units that will work fine, some with the cutout
for woofer clearance too. I think you have enough room there for
a faceplate.

GNP was about 5 miles from house, in late 90's went in back room (long after they stopped making speakers and were just a Audio Shop) and saw parts. Not that tweeter you listed, but more of the H297 type.
Seas replacement domes for that (and most era's) actually have the faceplate as part of the coil replacement assembly and none available are truncated.
Vifa truncated (6 ohmers)D25 and D26 are in the "Eah, just okay" realm.
As you say, probably better off with the Dayton Audio truncated Silkie and deal/live with the 8 ohm vs 6 ohm difference.
. . . from any given era used the same 19, 25 or 27mm voice coils, so the impedance and response curves, and overall sensitivity, are quite similar if not identical. What differs are dome material (fabric or aluminum), chambered or not, ferrofluid or not, and faceplate geometry. So the OP shouldn't have that much trouble finding a near-drop-in replacement that will sound "almost" the same without crossover modifications.
Thank you for that information Brian , that helps me quite a bit, I don't have to get them back to original but they are not junk and I don't want to just trash them, if I can get them close to what they were I will be happy.
They have carried SEAS for decades, maintain a huge data base on discontinued as well as current drivers, and could suggest a VERY close match for you.
...I was going to mention that. We replace many
tweeters in the shop, seldom messed with the x-over, people
are happy with the results.
