It's not unusual for a "cutterbar" (yes, that's the name for the part the guards bolt to) to fatigue and snap off.

A local blacksmith welds them with some type of chromium rod, but they often break again, next to the weld.

Last year, I was looking for a used IH mower to mow roadsides, and one of the ones I looked at had broken, like yours, and the guy had re-drilled mounting holes, and reattached it to the mower, now being an odd, shorter length.

It looked good, but I did not buy it, as I wanted the full 9' length for the road mowing.

So, your options are an attempt at welding it, shortening it up, if that will work on your mower, or replacing it with a used or $$$$ new cutterbar.
