    At this point your options are limited. If you want to keep the current brakes, you're going to have to get the MK3 rotors and redrill them. I would bet that is what you have now with the worn out ones. Redrilling rotors is very common in hot rodding and it's not unusual to see aftermarket brake setups with multiple bolt patterns on the same rotor.

    Or, you could contact Wilwood. They offer 2 piece rotors where the cast iron rotor attaches to a separate hat section. The hats are available in various offsets, bores and bolt patterns. The rotors are available in several sizes and thicknesses. They might be able to come up with a combo that will fit your application, but these rotors are not cheap by a long shot.

    Or, you can take the Jag ones and have them bored out to fit the Strange axles. Or, you can have the Strange axles turned down to fit the Jag rotors.

    Or, you could ditch the old MK3 brakes and buy a completely new rear brake setup. Those appear to be the Torino big bearing ends on the housing, so there should be a bunch of options available from several suppliers due to the popularity of the 9" in the hot rod world.

    Of all these options, redrilling is going to be the cheapest, easiest and fastest solution.
