Don't know what those belong to, but they're not from a Legacy. Did you bend a control arm or something?

Doesn't it say "supra" right on those things?

Just get an OEM one—they're cheap and they work. You can go to alloy arms, but they cost more and there's the argument that the next big hit might cause damage to the crossmember instead as the alloys are built for strength rather than weight reduction (I have them and they seem tough as hell). I doubt the steel control arms in Japan are any different. It wouldn't make any sense manufacturing-wise and these cars were built pretty smart in that regard. For applications requiring stronger arms, they had the alloy units.

Looks like it says Supra on them...as stated above.

I have 00RS control arms, which are the exact same thing as our Legacy. The benefit on using the RS arms are they are newer, and no rust or corrosion. Also, I found mine with all the bushings still intact and in good shape.

Don't waste your money. You'll benefit more from upgraded bushings. Besides, those are DEFINITELY not for any Subaru I've ever seen.
