Lacking the original hardware, how would you attach this table leg? (lemmy.world)

I found this table on the curb a while back, less the leg hardware. No a relative could use it, and I'm wondering how to fix it up.

Cut a couple 2x4 sections to fill the truncated-triangular area and screw through them into all surfaces?

The legs have a hollow center drilled out, at the top, so I assume some metal piece with threaded holes fit there, and a metal plate anchored that to the skirt (?).

If you have the skills, cut yourself a block of wood to go from each side. Drill holes in the middle of the block and use some bolts from your local hardware store. Screws should work for each end.
