I would like to mount a new 65", probably a Hisense or TCL though not certain yet, on the existing mount for a very heavy old 42".

I would like to mount a new 65", probably a Hisense or TCL though not certain yet, on the existing mount for a very heavy old 42". As you can see in the pictures the mount is secured onto steel bars protruding from a recess of the wall, so putting up another mount would be a PITA. I have attached a picture of the bracket on the TV also.

Is the bracket VESA, meaning it will fit all modern TVs?

If so, is there somewhere I could order just the different size bolts? I know different TVs take different bolts.
