Let me try to understand first...
There are different sets of parameters for different applications including for replacements.
You don't mention, your driver, your enclosure type, net (net volume if this is the case), tunning (if this is the case). So for me is just a mystery game?!
There are matches in specs, dB/SPL output, LF extension, type of enclosure, quality material type/sound of the cone...
If you give more details maybe I can give you an adequate answer.

The problem is I don't know enclosure volume. My questions was "Can I take the old speakers out, get the model numbers, find the specifications for that model number and then find a new driver that closely matches those specs. It seem to me that two drivers with the same specifications should work equally well in a given encloser.
Of course you can, IF the numbers stamped on the drivers actually mean something, and are from a well known manufacturer and documented. Many are not, so the numbers could be meaningless.

by which I think Cal means - outside dimensions and material thickness - this'll give a rough idea of internal cubic volume
of course if it's anything other than a sealed or simple vented box, the internal configuration could certainly contribute to shortening the candidate list
that assumes that the existing drivers were original and appropriate to the boxes in the first place - at this point, those are both uncertain?
That's impossible without changing the crossover also.
The crossover is created specially for the used drivers, with other drivers you'll get a different frequency response and phase integration between the drivers.
You're better off with using an existing design.
Danny66 - I think the OP already stated they were full-range, but then more than a few folks have misunderstood exactly what that means - we've seen a fair share of inquiries along the lines of "what should I replace the mid-sized driver in my full-range system with? "
a simple photo could help crystallize that question

Oops
, I didn't see it was full range. I read Seas and Scan Speak and that doesn't make me think of fullrange drivers
