Steel for the axle assembly arrived today and it fits together as expected. All I have to do is drill four holes, clean it, align everything nicely, and learn to weld steel. This may be a weekend project. I'm hoping to not need to borrow a friend's MIG welder, but that is a backup idea.
Here's what the physical arrangement will look like. For now, imagine the prettiest welds you've ever seen.
Our of curiosity, I weighed the individual pieces (5.1kg + 2*1.5kg + 2*369g + 2*420g) and get a total of 10kg (22lb) before welding and hardware. Now we know.
