I see it now. You may have to buy a whole new stanchon(s). I see originals in the swap meet section occasionally and on Craig’s List.

I had 2 pairs of them several years back. I put them on the swap area and they went fast. They are not straight plates. They have a slight twist to them. Good luck finding a pair. If you can't find any, I think you could make some that would work using the correct nuts soldered or welded to a small metal plate for each screw location. Put some JB Weld on the plate and then tighten the screws with the stanchions off, making sure the screws line up with the stanchion countersunk holes. Once the JB Weld is cured, you should be able to remove the screws and install the stanchions. The nuts can hardly be seen inside the bottom of the stanchions.

Brookville definitely makes and uses a substitute - rectangular piece of thick strapping with threaded holes. Price about $10 I think. No experience with them - getting the needed twist into them and hole alignment could be tricky but assume they've got it figured out. Thought I had a picture of them but can't find it.
 
Heres a picture of them that Randy in CA couldn't find. These are the ones I sold some time ago.
