i have just tack welded the hourseshoe pieces back onto the diff bracket. Chances are that the bolts going through the bracket are siezed and they pulled too hard to adjust. (been there done that ) install ajustable ball joints instead or have the sieized bolt replaced. Good luck

find a autowrecker that has a totaled out front diff (no good to them for resale) and ask if they would cut the bracket off for you. You can then zip cut/grind off welds and use just the horseshoe shaped piece and have it welded back in place.

These are part of the axle so i dont believe anyone will have the for sale.... Check with the dealer. I believe you will have to get them off of a junk axle like tworks said!
