Even if it's feasible to use it in it's present condition, I'd hesitate to do so because it's obviously either been abused or is unusually substandard material and cringe to think what happens in there when another lets go while the motor is running. And of course the remaining tabs are taking even more load and additional vibration than they would if all were still there.
My guess would be that someone broke them while working/beating/prying on it, otherwise there would be the scars present as evidence of the alternate catastrophe.

Funny you should mention that because there is some evidence of chunks of it flying around while the motor is running - the nut on the crankshaft has some pretty substantial nicks and gouges taken out of it. I'll post a pic later...

I had exactly the same problem with my clutch, so the specialist who has been helping me got this done. Whilst it's not millimetre perfect, it's close, and 'my man' is very well regarded in Ducati circles here in the UK, so I trust it not to fall apart. Unfortunately I can't tell you how much it cost, as it was bundled up with a load of other stuff.

That must have been a pretty difficult welding job!
