Daniel, there's a few people out there making old-style Weber wood handles. Some on Etsy, I found http://grillhandle.com as a source, etc. Take a look around the Internet with your favorite search engine, and I'm sure you'll find something.
As for that charcoal grate......it's got two removable charcoal dividers attached to it. These were one of Weber's options for being able to position coals to one or either side of the charcoal grate providing for multiple heat zones or indirect cooking. They appear to be installed on the bottom of the charcoal grate, and, instead, should be installed facing up from the top of the grate. I've always used the Weber baskets, as I find them more convenient, especially when you want to move them around with lit coals in them.
EDIT: adding in the link to Weber.com for these "charcoal rails" https://www.weber.com/GB/en/accessories/cooking/charcoal-briquettes-and-accessories/7402.html
Oh, and, welcome to TVWBB!

Daniel, I can’t recommend anyone better than Rivercity woodworks! Kyle recommended him to me, very personable guy, he did some really beautiful work for me. Fair pricing too.

In the last picture it looks like one of the blades from the Ash sweep is missing? Oh and welcome!

Yes, the sweeps look wonky to me too, order a set and get them in first. A good cleaning with some dish soap, load a chimney and start the ribeyes!

Replace the ash sweeps and add some wooden handles and you’ll have a sweet redhead! It looks really clean too.

Yes, I believe you can put a ash can under that one. I did it with my 18” never looked back! I need to upgrade my “Pizzaque kettle with that too!
