If the same csr was used, it should be sufficient to replace the .crt.

A certificate is linked to the specific private key it was created for. The modulus
of that key was stored in the CSR that was used to generate the certificate. You need
to find the correct key, since you won't be able to generate a matching one. You
can check the modulus of the key, csr and certificate with openssl:

openssl x509 -noout -modulus -in certificate.crt 
openssl rsa -noout -modulus -in private.key 
openssl req -noout -modulus -in csr.csr

You probably should check the certificate as well, especially the CN of the Subject, e.g. with

openssl x509 -noout -text -in certificate.crt
