Default Caliper mounting bolts size?

I seem to have misplaced my bolts after rebuilding the calipers to the o ring conversion. What is the size of these bolts? The bolts that hold the caliper to the flange. Not the bolts that hold the two halfs together. Thanks!! Are they the same size for the front and back?

7/16 20 fine threads shorter bolts (C3) go on the rear. Slightly longer ones on the front.
These are the ones that connect to hub, not the bolts that holds the caliper together...of course they are larger.

They probably figured it out 5 years ago
