brackets
The brackets are welded onto the machine in front. The back bolts onto the frame so all you are looking for is the two front brackets.
Years ago, I had two 450's , one with and one without a canopy. I just copied the front bracket and welded it up. It worked great and you could not tell them apart. If you are decent with a torch, grinder and welder, you can do it also.
BTW, if you do make or buy the brackets somewhere, if you are not a good welder, get someone who is. Your life could depend upon it.
I have seen a 450 roll over three times down an embankment. It landed on the tracks in a cloud of dust. It bent in the top of the canopy some and bent the exhaust but it was still running. He had his seat belt on and all he lost was his glasses. ''
If you have a canopy, wear a belt. If no canopy, Don't wear a belt. If you are going to put a canopy on that 350, get a seat belt.

I have kept some old 450 Dozer roll bar mounts for front and back ,The front ones attach to the frame mounts and back ones bolt on .350 are getting harder to find by the day but lots of 350s are being wrecked .Get in touch with the wreckers in your area and don't just phone stop in and see what they got .there are a few out there now and most are being scraped so act fast and be prepared to pay more than scrap price for original parts.if you run a dozer or a crawler loader it is an other ROPS and if you run a backhoe it takes an other ROPS there are four different ROPS made for the two older 450s alone plus a ROPS cab as well I have one cab but thinking of putting it on the 450E I have several times people have made offers but selling used Deere parts at less than scrap price to me is a no brain er I'll just keep em thanks !.Digitup.
