UCA mounting bracket damage
I would say stress fractures on both of those, not rust related. Either a weak design or just a hard life.
I spent my formative years in British car resto shop, so I did a lot of frame patches. Also have a background in aerospace engineering, so I did some frame design/construction in school. Also where I picked up a few photoshop skills ( not a lot, but a few).
Repair will be easier than replacement, and likely just as strong if you do it right. I just didn't know if you cared that it wouldn't look stock so I thought I'd throw out all the options. If you go with replacement you'd have to spend some time getting it all lined up right to maintain the geometry.
As far as posting pictures, you just need to have
