Lots of cities run mixed fleets. I don't really buy that a 5-Module CAF Urbos3 or Alstom CITADIS variant with the same geometry can't work here. We've got spiral curves (suitable for fixed-bogie) and the OCS is at a standard height and so on.
Really it's just stuff like the lifts in the OMSF (lining up to the jack points on the vehicle body) and so on... so add another track with another set of lifts. I know I'm simplifying it (and I'm usually the guy who says "no, it's harder than you think!") but really this is not an impossibility.
If trains 15-28 came from another vendor I'd be sad, but not surprised.
