It is replacing same dimension oregeon with TP MGP10 - hopefully there is an angle bracket that would do a 45 degree that is a bit more cost effective then $14 each as I would need 50 odd of them plus the coach bolt - but would any heavy duty 45 degree bracket work here with coach bolts? Have you considered fixing a 50x50 galv angle along the bottom of the bearer to act as a ledger for the joists to sit on and then just bugle screwing the joists to the bearer? At 240mm you have plenty of face to get 4 bugles screwed in and cutting on the 45⁰ gives you almost 65mm of face contact between the joist and bearer. Lot's of guys would just nail it with the framing gun and then screw it with bugles. If you add the 50x50 angle bolted to the bearer then the joists can't drop over time and the bugles will keep everything tight.
