Several thoughts here:
1) First of all, those don't look like they would provide adequate structural rigidity even if they were steel. You could replace them with some steel channel of the same dimension, but I would put thru-bolts with lock nuts.
2) I would also make replacement braces a bit longer than original - like maybe 6" to 10" longer in each direction - 12" to 20" overall longer braces.
3) you could take some rebar or other cheap steel and weld up a super stiff brace for each end that would follow the contour of the building. Could make the web about 6". When done, just bolt the bracing trusses to the inside of each end using adequate bolts/nuts, so as to still be able to disassemble if ever needed. This would narrow your opening height by about 4" and the width by about 8", but looks like there's still ample room to get in and out.
I don't know about there, but if we had one of those here, it'd better be anchored securely to the ground, otherwise it'll probably end up in the next county....or Canada!
