That's a good question! Maybe someone knows what the part is called, if not I would keep them if their in good shape

They are NOT reproduced, When I got my first toe panel I was quite surprised that they were not part of it........Donor cab time.........

When I asked the guy I buying my sheet-metal
from, He said (nobody has ever asked for those).
Mine appear to be in good shape.
If they (are) available my toe-board is a
very good candidate for patch panels.
Maybe for future projects.
I am replacing the whole floor and toe-board.
So if these are available it would make things easier,
If they are not available, mine appear to be in good shape.

If their spot welded can you drill em and reuse? If not are they a brace if so make some

I'm sorry, but that's an outrage. If I bought a firewall and it was missing part of the firewall...

A spot weld cutter would be handy here, but it can be done with a drill!
