I don't think you would have any problem with making the swap. If all the filaments are in series, the 2 volt difference would be spread over the entire string. The thing to check would be the filament current between the two as they could be significantly different.

I suppose that the 8BN8 would more likely be found in the television repair man's caddy. There are quite a few on eBay right now.
