I usually direct hardware questions to the library, but as you are a new kid on the block, here's the answer. The screw is 42119-S8, 8-18X3/8HH,REC,FLNG 11/32,1/4HEX,TPG. It is available at AMK products but the head markings may not be correct. The same screws were used thru 68 on heater plenums and other applications.

Appear to be different finish and head markings.

Style and length look about right
