= Curvature-matching diffeomorphism between two surfaces of revolution

For the surfaces generated by $(e^u,0,u)$ and $(\cosh s,0,s)$,
$$
K_R(u)=-(1+e^{2u})^{-2},
\qquad
K_S(s)=-\cosh^{-4}s.
$$
The diffeomorphism $u=\log\sinh s$ matches these curvatures, although comparison of the first fundamental forms shows that no local isometry exists.
