The greatest trick that bond stress ever pulled was convincing the world it didn't exist.

Maybe as KootK suggest you might forget about those bolts.

Lots of danger tape in the background. What's the job if I may ask?

The blade is only 1/4" wide, and not curled, so it won't support itself for any distance.
What it is good for, is measuring the circumference of things. The scale on the back is a 'pi tape', which reports an equivalent diameter for a measured circumference. Just wrap it around a pipe with the hook out, and read the back scale at the index mark.
It looks like it would fit around your bar.
I think it was less than 10 USD at Home Depot or similar.

I think the bigger question is your second question. How to fix, or rather, does it need to be repaired? My guess is this column supports a critical vessel or some other piece of equipment that is important to the plant process. The normal trick to this type of assignment is determining the actual forces at the connection. Drawings from this era are notorious for being lost, lacking information or being incorrect due to endless changes over the years.

Convert it to diameter.
