I have a workbench which contains three related projects.
I would like to create another workbench which is identical to the existing workbench except for several files
which should be taken from different locations (folders).

How can this be done?

In this case, the terminology is "workspace" not workbench. The Eclipse
workbench is the visible IDE you see on the monitor after launching it.

Eclipse is workspace- and project-oriented.

You can create a new workspace as easily as File -> Other... -> Browse
-> Make New Folder. Or just create a new subdirectory wherever you want
on your disk and use the procedure above to navigate to it.

If you wish to copy the three projects into the new workspace, you could
use File -> Import -> General -> Existing Projects into Workspace, then
click the option to Copy projects into workspace.

Then, make the modifications to those files you wish to be different.

Hope this helps.
