Identify old mounting bar.

I am trying to identify my current telescope mounting bar with a view to changing it.
I have an old Skywatcher SkyMax 127 on a Sky Scan 2001 mount. It has a strange mounting bar. The mount attaches to the tube via 2 knurled knobs/screws and the bar. The bar (if you can call it that) is upside down to what I think is normal. It is widest (50mm) in profile nearest the tube and narrower nearest the mount (25mm) and about 180mm long. I have attached a photo. I am looking to update to a different mount, using either a Vixen or Skywatcher mounting bar I think.

Any clues on what the current mounting bar is?
Any tips for changing the bar?

Thanks in advance,
Regards
Ashley
