JBL Century L100 Tweeter Repair then sale

I have a vintage pair of JBL Century L100 speakers. One of the tweeters has a torn cone.
1) Should I buy two newer tweeters and replace both to keep them sounding equal?
2) Where can I get them with 3 mounting holes? The ones I find online so far have 4 mounting holes.

JBL-L100 Tweeters

if the tweeter still works i would fix it by using a tiny amount of superglue to weld the tear in the paper back together..The early L100 that has all the drivers in a perfect inline position like you have used the le20-1 alnico magnet tweeter that has the 3 holes and should have a thin black aluminum trim ring that covers the screws..the later L100 with the offset/clustered drivers use the le25 tweeter version with ferrite magnet has 4 holes and has a foam trim ring..if you want a replacement tweeter you will need to find a used original le20-1 tweeter on ebay
