well yes - essentially you first superimpose lobe 1a to lobe1b , then lobe
2a to the superimposed copy lob2b-superposed. The theta  phi  *chi or
omega *angle for the second superstition tells you how rotation there is
between the open and closed form.
There are various ways to do this - lsqkab in CCP4I - GESAMT in CCP4I2 (but
not sure how easy it is to select a lobe..)
Probably possible in COOT but the log file isnt very helpful..
More detailed advice if needed..
