I can't find a version that supports those antique operating systems so you're probably stuck with 6.5.3.

That version of the UF is only compatible with indexer versions 7.1-7.3.  To run Splunk 8 on your indexers, you'll need to install intermediate heavy forwarders running version 7.1-7.3.  See https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/VersionCompatibility/current/Matrix/Compatibilitybetweenforwar...for the compatibility chart.
