Basically you'd unwire and remove WFCO from wall, slide Progressive unit in & wire back up ??

You can replace the entire box; converter/AC Breaker Panel/DC fuse panel with a similar one that Progressive Dynamics makes. You would however, have to determine if the hole in the wall is the right size, and select the panel that would work (i.e. proper capacity, etc.).
Or you might be able to replace just the converter (battery charger), not the entire unit with a Progressive Dynamics converter sub-assembly. It is not necessarily intended to be a direct replacement for the WFCO converter, so there may be a few minor issues getting it installed.
There is a You Tube video of a guy that did it, and he had to cut some plastic around the WFCO box to find a place for a switch the new converter has, but electrically, they were very similar if not identical.
I have not tried it, just watched the video, and looked into the possibility for my rig. So it should work OK; but that comes from someone pretty adept at electronics. So consider your own skill level before attempting (I caution you to assess your skill level if you attempt this as I don't want to be liable for any action you take).
