Many couplers like the # DM15945 do not come with a safety pin. This likely cuts cost out of the product and allows you to use an existing safety pin if you have one, choose your own, or add a lock instead. This particular coupler has a 5/16" diameter hole and requires a 2-1/2" span so you could use a coupler pin like the # 37201051.

I'm not sure which coupler you have. If it is the MC51923 you mentioned that doesn't bring up any product here at etrailer, or anywhere else on the internet when I searched. You will need to know the required diameter and span to find the right fit.

I have attached a link below to all of our hitch pins and clips which includes locks and coupler pins. You can filter by the span, length, and diameter.
