Managed to find this link last night - flange head 3/4" screws...

Okay they're silver but they look right:

They're chemically-blacked Pozidriv mushroom-head self tapping screws,
No.8 x 3/4" -- sometimes called "flange-head".  The originals were
lacquered too, but later ones were just blacked.  CPC sell them;
FN01178 is a box of 200.  Unfortunately the shortest they do is 1/2",
which is too long for the ones that hold the PCB in place (No.8 x
3/8"), which always seems to be what I want.  No proper Beeb has case
screws, and ideally should also have PCB clips holding the keyboard in
place instead of machine screws ;-)
