I'm over in the UK and one of my XS's is a 2H7 US model import.
I've got the two sets of 2-1 downpipes but no silencers.
What are the H-D silencers that will fit on the pipes and brackets?
Seems like original H-D silencers are pretty cheap over here on ebay.

What are the H-D silencers that will fit on the pipes and brackets?.

There's any number of units that can be made to fit. Most of Harley's mufflers are pretty similar, some are longer/larger diameter than others. All have a 1.75" diameter inlet.

Sportster and Dyna model mufflers seem to be the best candidates, but there's variations depending on the year bike. The '04-up Sportster mufflers are probably one of the easier ones to mount, but have a crossover hole in them that needs to be plugged or fitted with a crosssover. Some '06-up units will have catalytic convertors in one of the pair (at least the US versions do) so watch for that (they're marked as having one, so ask). The '86-03 Sporty mufflers will lack the convertor and crossover, but will need a bit more fab work for the mounts. There's others that can work too, ask for the overall diameter and length before deciding.

All will need some rear mount fabrication, and where your OEM mufflers are cut off will make a difference. You'll need about 5" or more of the mufflers to be still attached behind the collectors or you'll need to fab an intermediate pipe.

Should put up a post asking all the XS owners that have installed these to check the part number on the mufflers, might be able to put together a list of mufflers to look for...
