Thanks, Richard - you're heading in the right direction
but on the wrong track. What I'm seeing on the sites
so far offered is sheet metal type 'strengtheners' 
that fit *against* the *sides* of 2x?s.

What I'm trying to convey is a connector into which
the *ends* of the 2x?s fit. Some are right angles,
some are ?45 degree angles? for peaked roofs - there
is an almost-octopus one for the *center* of a dome-
type roof. 

By having the metal form the angle, one does not 
need to miter the *ends* of the 2x?s.

I don't think they are sold in anything but *kits*. 
It could be that the ones into which the *ends*
of sawhorse legs fit into are made by the same mfr.

Since only the *coroners* "know for sure" -
in humans, anyway - it doesn't take much/many 
to keep the medical angle quiet either .... until
one runs into a coroner who can't be bought
or hushed up otherwise ...

Toni,

Don't know if this is close to what you are referring.  I've seen them in
some catalogs that have come our way.  This website calls them "Quick
Framer Barn Framing Kit":
