Default K-38 side plate screws

I recently brought home a K38 five screw model. According to the serial number it was made in 1952. Darn thing looks new. Only a little bluing wear on the muzzle. I'm only the second owner as I bought it from the widow of the man who bought it new in the '50s. It's obvious he didn't shoot it much but at some point he decided to pull the side plate off and really messed up the screw head slots. Thank goodness he didn't damage the plate. I would like to replace these screws but am having a hard time finding them. Any ideas on where I can find them? Or would the screws off a modern Model 14 fit it?

Current screws will do just fine, but the finish will not be the same for polish & bluing. The newer ones are more than likely duller.
