Not necessary exactly the same design, but with 4 screws like these ?

There are lots of them out there. The question is which one(s) will fit the screw and shaft holes.

Thanks, Noah. I'll probably have to drill a bit here and there to adjust the tuners to the Rick.

How about fixing what you have? Straighten the bent shafts and put on new buttons.

I agree with (fix the originals) it is a simple job. Drilling holes in any vintage guitar is a big NO NO.

The guitar came with only one of the two tuner sets… So I have to buy.

Measure and search. The Golden Age tuners are designed to be pretty near exact replicas of the 1930's tuners used on these old babies. I just bought a set for my 1935 Dobro to replace the Klusons. Screw holes match up perfectly.
