They also have too much sideways offset, hence why they're not straight. The originals would have been these:
Which are notorious for causing string breakage - the reason should be obvious!
Assuming you can get enough height adjustment, the older style Fender USA Standard saddles should fit, they should have the right spacing and offset. Stringing it may be awkward though, since the string hole is further back than on the Fender bridge.

The saddles illustrated in the opening post are from one of those dogbreath MIK Bendmaster vibrato bridges. (The design with the notoriously crumbly zinc sustain block and the over-complex fine tuner mechanisms.)
I have six of 'em, rattling around in a parts drawer. How many would "your friend" like?

If it's too difficult to thread the string through the slots, you can saw through the back edge and turn them into the same shape as the originals.
