Old Myson imperial Round top - is it a Type 22, 2 sets of fins?
I would go with a Type 22 (K2) regardless TBH.

OK it's a Type 22, so it would need to be replaced with a Type 22 (K2), to get anywhere near the same output.
They still make imperial myson round tops, they aint cheap though.
That's too close to that wall IMO, that will draw heat from the rad into the wall, want a bit of a gap in there.

Nope - P+ has a single row of convectors so wouldn't normally have the same effective output. Even though those rads are old, they were very advanced for their time. They were really the first to be designed as true convecting radiators as we know them today and had a comparable output, even though they were designed with a higher delta in mind
As suggested, I would recommend the distance from the wall is changed anyway, for me it is too tight to the wall as it is, there really should be a gap down the back of the rad for air flow. Coupled with the thicker rad then it would be coming out further, unless that's not an option?
Nope - Not usually - The heat output is the heat output, the larger fins just allow the rad to convect more efficiently, so heat a given space more effectively.
600x1100 Type21 (P+) = ~1500w
600x1100 Type 22 (K2) = ~1920w
Myson Round Top Type 22 (K2) imperial -
530x1149 = ~ 1850w
