I believe the best way is to determine the resonant frequency of each element using AutoEZ and then adjust the tips of you actual taper schedule/element to match the original antennas.  If I remember correctly AutoEZ will do that automatically with the press if a key.  While you are at it when you have completed that task you might as well optimize the design also using AutoEZ.  Not required but perhaps slightly better if you have NEC-4.
