Everyones got a clever answer but none for their lack of knowlege. The lever handle and bolts of the two pieces of hardware are very different and if they are the early 1900's variety the best way to replace the new hardware is to plug the holes as best you can and start again as if you're working on a new door. All of the holes in the new hardware require a certain accuracy that doesn't lend itself to winging it especially the knob to bolt holes. In the long run the fastest way is to take the long and sure way. If you lack woodworking skill to cut pieces for the mortices you can go to a local cabinet maker and have them cut since they should be similar.
