With the straps, stands in place curling the bucket lifts the back end of the loader out of it’s mounts.
Loader what are these fittings on the bucket designed for?

Whatever that is on the bucket is not for removing the loader. As mentioned, you use the stands under the lift arms and that's a common Kubota thing. I've seen many of them in use. Your bucket does look like original paint but it's possible it's a modification. It looks more like some auxiliary piece of equipment that attaches to the bucket. I think I have seen those side brackets before but can't recall where or when.

W.A.G.: Mounts for some kind of home made grapple add on?
Are they on both ends of bucket?

Strange: I used them many times to remove the loader on my Kubota!

Most of the time the brackets (legs) get lost or missed placed....

Mine were also used to add a little support to the loader arms when it was in use. Pretty hard to lose them.

Nice bucket. Typical of welded on hooks on a material bucket. Not meant for weld on (or bolt on hooks). Have one here in the shop I need to straighten out for a customer and I will remove the hooks when I do and toss them on the scrap bin. I see lots of buckets with 'smiles' in them. All have bucket hooks it seems like.
