    I use DM542T drivers at 36V on a pair of 3NM NEMA23 motors to pull an 800mm wide welded steel gantry with a 2.2KW spindle on it. It's fairly weighty but will rapid at over 10/min with reasonable acceleration so they'll probably do.
    However, there is always a case for spending a bit more on something over-specified for your present needs if you might want to upgrade other parts in the future. It's a balance between spend more now to save in future.

    To get a bit more info on the motors you could look at the spec of similar sized motors from stepperonline and others. Measure the winding resistance of the motors you have and look for a match in both resistance and physical size. It's not a guarantee they're the same current rating but will give you somewhere to start.

    An optimist says the glass is half full, a pessimist says the glass is half empty, an engineer says you're using the wrong sized glass.
