There's Tsubaki and a Taiwanese copy. Looks like those are the only companies that make them, so I doubt that there's any available standard.

Tsubaki's web site has some nice pictures and exploded views. Shouldn't be so very difficult to reverse engineer from first principles.

Probably cheaper faster better to buy from Tsubaki.

It's called a lantern gear; a cycloidal meshing mechanism, sometimes used with roller chain as a rack element.

There will be nearly no standard components because they aren't suitable for significant power transmission, so there isn't much in the way of automated equipment to make them. Lack of automated equipment to make them means no need to standardize. They can transmit large forces and are used for bicycle sprockets, though usually modified to ease shifting on multi-sprocket gear trains.
 
I would look to borrow roller chain standards. Your larger gear with the pins will be a complete custom part.
