Help identifying radiator support brackets

I'm swapping out my v-mount to do an emissions test and am swapping in a stock-configuration Koyo radiator.

The two support brackets that are attached to the Koyo are not the stock ones and I have no idea if they came with the Koyo or if I bought them separately. They are pictured below.

Both brackets are identical and only the right side fits particularly well. It feels as though I might have two rights.

Any idea what bracket these are?

Those aren't radiator brackets. They look familiar - maybe the brackets for the struts that hold up the hatch?

I can confirm they are NOT brackets for the struts that hold up the hatch...

Yup - they are not, but they have a very similar design. I'm wondering if they are strut brackets from another Mazda (they have a very Mazda OEM look and feel).

Considering the temporary nature of the mounting... Maybe consider using zip ties?
Or trim some angle iron?
