The letters show in Kopka and Daly are from Zapf Calligrapic, not Latin (or Computer) Modern. To get these in place of LM, replace the line
\usepackage{mathrsfs}
with
\usepackage[cal=zapfc,calscaled=1.15,,scr=rsfs]{mathalfa}
There are other choices of mathcal available Seee the samples in the documentation for mathalfa.
