If you go to `Stack Management > Index Patterns`, you should be able to get an ID of your index pattern from the URL. URL will be something like: `<your_hostname>/app/management/kibana/indexPatterns/patterns/ff959d40-b880-11e8-a6d9-e546fe2bba5f`  
The long alphanumeric value after `patterns` is your index pattern id; in this case index pattern ID is: `ff959d40-b880-11e8-a6d9-e546fe2bba5f`

Then, you go to `Saved Objects`, also under `Stack Management`. Find the visualization you need, and then from a pop-up selector on the right choose `Inspect`. The last section in there should be `references`, it will show current index pattern id:

You can replace this with the desired value, obtained in step 1.

But I must warn you, there is no guarantee this will work, if index patterns are different or don't contain the same data etc.
