You already know the answer then, and are just reaching. I repeat:

The closest you can get is something like x-wrt which, while not the same web-interface, is at least a web interface and not typing cryptic commands into a terminal prompt.
You can't just use the vendor's interface with OpenWRT's core. It just doesn't work that way. The factory interface isn't hardwired, it's part and parcel of the files and programs in the image: Once you overwrite it with OpenWRT it's gone. Even if you extracted it from another image somehow they won't be compatible. OpenWRT isn't the factory image and that's that.
You probably don't need to worry about the nvram. OpenWRT can take care of that itself.
Give x-wrt's web interface a try. Its core is OpenWRT but it has a decent web interface. It might not be as bad as you fear. Worst case, you write up a page of instructions for your users.
