can you get these triangular supports out of a w123 WAGON that has "rear" headrests already, or do you need to find a donor sedan that had rear headrests as an option to begin with? (or get them from the dealer). does anyone have a pic of inside of a wagon seat?

The triangle piece acts like a button that you can press down to be able to remove the head rest or move it up or down. Theoretically you can do without it and have the height position permanent. The wagon setup is different.
Wagon Headrest.
Left Sedan Headrest and Right Wagon Headrest
Sedan Rear Seatback with Headrest.

The last I checked, my local dealership found a 100 of these triangle pieces in Germany. But was not able to access them. Maybe your dealership is better and can order them. They however could order the whole mounting kit which includes the parts shown in circle 5 in the above pic. That part number is 123 970 01 00 and was listed at $59.29 for each side.
One question to you Squabble for clarity, you stated you have the two straight frame supports. There should be four (4 qty) supports. Two are removable and the other two are spot welded from the factory.
