Unless you can find a source for replacing the canister(s) you'd be better off reinstalling the low mileage unit until you may find a replacement or substitute!. That said, activated charcoal, if I remember from chemistry, is pretty hardy stuff, as filter substrate goes.
Activated charcoal is produced when exposing charcoal to steam in the vicinity of 1700?F; a specialized process for sure that would be difficult if possible to find locally.
30K miles isn't much for a canister. But, who knows what time has done to it? Still, quite worth a try in the mean time, methinks: install the old one and investigate further in the mean time?
