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 (?).

Cut a 2x4 to fit in the corner then buy two screws which will fit in the existing table leg holes. Screw the 2x4 to the leg and call it a day.

Or use a Craig jig and drill some pocket holes and screw or together.
