What I really wanted to know is if I can replace the entire torpedoes_US.dat file with the one from the original TMO 2.5 and if there are any other files I would need to replace with it?

Most likely not, due to that "ID" issue slightly described above. Each 'device' is linked by IDs, and changing one file of a set will most likely result in broken ID links. You might get away with changing the whole set of 4x Torpedoes_US files, but those also have ID links to other files, such as Particles that might be broken also. You could try the whole Torpedoes_US set (built as a mod) and see what happens, but if you then CTD when a torpedo impact is to happen, or possibly the torpedo passes through a ship, or perhaps you lose the 'explosion' or sound effect, you'll know you broke something.
