the two photos are actually showing one hinge,
Easy way to make it is to use round headed rivets in the male half by drilling the holes then use a tapered pin reamer to open up the hole from the backside then drop the rivets in and one smack with a hammer your done, you need rivets I just bought a bag of a hundered cause I needed 8 .125" rivets .250" long. I can drop some in the mail ladys bag if you want. To press the indents into a piece of angle is going to take some pretty serious pressure.
From looking at the two parts they were probably made in a drop forge press
