Can anyone figure out what teeth I need for this 1980 Komatsu D31Q-16?

I bought this little 1980 Komatsu D31Q-16 and I’m trying to figure out what teeth they used to have on it based on this picture:

Looks like 6 teeth, each with some sort of triangular 3-bolt pattern, which I can’t seem to find anywhere. Any ideas?

I would find some shanks that fit and weld them on. I've never had success keeping bolted shanks tight on a track loader, even from new. We always ran new loaders for a season then welded the factory shanks to the bucket all the way around.
And when you put them on, make sure the corner shanks are all the way out at the edge of the bucket similar to the way the ones are in the photo posted by @JimInOz .

Are those single grouser pads on the tracks?
