How will you get the big gear off without cutting the weld?
Typically ring and pinion sets are matched pairs and most people would suggest not mixing them but in this case I think an exception could be made but I really do not think it is worth the trouble.
Also, you will have the set the backlash again so you might as well replace all of it together and install a locker or weld it up.
In my opinion, you should just leave it be and spend your time and money on the other pressing items.
Don't leave that spare diff open to the elements if it is going to continue to be your spare. Either take it out and protect it or seal it back up.
