Would a 2345 fit ( width-wise ) into your existing baffle ?
To answer your question directly, yes , I would ( if it was me ) look at adding an actual radial type horn into your setup.
2345 Radials 's typically don't command big bucks , therefore having/buying a pair allows one to experiment with their usage + "reverse-engineering".
The above picture shows a Yuichi 480FL BiRadial built with MDF ( and then painted ) .

Better ( sounding ) than a metal 2345 is almost any wooden version made from some appropriate hardwoods ( for example; maple > from here in N. America or Chinese Quince Lumber or Cheery Hardwood in Asia ).
You can buy 2345's and then use them as patterns to make a wood version.
Here's one project inspired by the 2345.
Luxmanlover's comments about moving on from the H290 ( Eminence biradial ) to a JBL 2345 ( metal radial ) to his own wooden version of the 2345 I find pretty interesting.

Nice LF loading from this radial > even from this Altec 908 driver.
Great digging Earl , you da Man.. The first one is a nice tidy effort IMO
You are indeed da man Earl.
They are lovely,
I will need to find someone to make these.
I would place them on top of my cabs .
see pics below.
The woofers are mounted high on the cabs

Hi,
Kelly's account has been inactive for a long time & therefore it was deemed to be surplus > and so it was "retired" into a Guest status .
Ask a moderator or Administrator if his old email details remain active somewhere on this site.
If so, they might be able to message him for you.
( Though ), I doubt Kelly has anything resembling the type of detailed build plan you seem to be after .
Your best bet ( IMHO ) is to buy a pair / clone them in wood and then sell them on for whatever money you can get for them.
PS; You might be able to get something useful from the following ( if you're creative + good at interpretation );
Here's a jig for outing the tractrix profile.

Gents I have secured a pair of H92s on ePay.
I think this is the safer bet for a domestic speaker.
Realistically I wouldnt have been able to get wood copies of the 2345.
Thanks all the same for all the advice.
So i have all the JBL hardware now except the the horns are in England the woofers are in LA and me in Kuala Lumpur.
I ll get them eventually, Covid not withstanding.
Plan is make a 850 Hz electronic XO(kit from ESP Aust) make up top end of N Pass 's XO for the mids n tweets.
Will report further.
Sounds like a good plan. Good luck with shipping... please do keep us posted.
I have a similar project in mind, but have no time line yet.
