Nothing is identical to an electron as electrons obey the Pauli exclusion principle and they are all different. == Another electron. All electrons have the same elemental structure. Certainly when we evaluate them in "small regions" of space, their momentum is uncertain. But intrinsically, all electrons are alike. And somewhere there is footage of Murray Gell-Mann saying exactly that. He has a pretty good grip on stuff like this. The Nobel Prize he won in Physics is just icing on the cake.

The proton is the nucleus of a hydrogen atom, however it is not technically an "elementary particle" as protons are made of quarks, two up quarks and one down quark. Protons are subatomic particles belonging to the fermion sub group known as baryons. the are not elementary particles, I think your question may be worded incorrectly. :-)

The only thing at all similar to an electron that has a positive charge is a "positron" ...

a positive electron, the electron's "anti-particle".

You can't say that a proton is similar to an electron, because it has more than

1,800 times as much mass as an electron.

Within the limits of experimental accuracy, the electron charge is identical to the charge of a proton, but with the opposite sign.

Positron has a mass equal to that of an electron but an equal and opposite charge

(positive charge). It is therefore antiparticle of electron.
