Default Courtesy light

I recently purchased a nos courtesy bracket. Based on great previous pics that I received, I now know how it should be installed on the kick panel. However, I bought the wrong screw required to install it. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could send or post an up close pic of the correct black oxide hex-head screw. Not sure what screw head should look like. Thank you in advance.

Model year? If memory serves, the courtesy light bracket uses the kick panel trim screw.

Hi btd,
Perhaps like this?
Hex recessed head with captive flat washer sheet metal screw with I believe manganese phosphate plating, not black oxide.
It has a capital 'A' in 2 concentric circles as a head mark. I don't know how typical this mark may or may not be.
Regards,
Alan

Alan,
Thanks for the pic. The screw is for a MY 1972 without a/c. Do you have any pics of the screw head which I can show to a vendor?
