the bracket is to adapt to a defender style steering dampener. the bracket bolts to the jate ring mount on the left in the second picture. I have no clue what make though.

Looks home made to me. My tie rod is just some thick walled D.O.M tubing tapped to D1 pitch and thread (cant remember exact numbers). I bent my solid Rovers North one.

Thats what I was thinking, I haven't figured out what ends these are either.
1/2-20 thread it appears for the ends that attach to the knuckle and box.

Guess Ill weld some tabs on my terrafirma one and keep this one as a backup.

The hell you say, home made, nope. That my friends is a genuine piece of rover history. It is a RoverTracks, at least until he got sued by LRNA and changed the name to Roving Tracks and then sadly drifted off to a normal life. I have been running that for years and just made the ultimate mod to it a few months ago so i could finely adjust the steering wheel. Allowing my son to drive it into too many rocks threw my steering off so much that I needed more adjustment... made it perfect in my opinion.

Why do you have two nuts on each of your tie rod ends??
Looks like RoverTracks drag link to me.

To hold it in place while I mocked up the skid plate. Does anyone know where to get replacement ends or what the thread is for the tie rod ends?

So to recap; RoverTracks brand, uses stock TRE RTC5869, right hand thread on the pitman arm, left hand thread at the wheel end, rod end threads are 11/16-16 and the stud end are M12-1.75.
Lost some info during the change over but all is well now.
