Any idea of how to fit these?

Wanderer:
To be honest the safest thing I can see with that would be a plate (thick) that has a hole for it to fit into. Then cut in half and bolted into a solid mount so that it holds the main swivel.
To be honest, again, they aren't that expensive with no need for the split plate.
Usually the flange would go in from behind and then be held with a circlip to stop it moving back through. It's strength being in the flange.
As the body is bigger then the flange this isn't possible.

I'd be worried of it coming adrift or not being strong enough.
As mentione dpreviously by Tim it looks like a slide in fit with the load pulling it into the slot as opposed to against the flange.
