Default Classic / New / shorter 586 grip screw

I have an old (pre-mim) blue 586. I bought a pair of the new wood grips because I like them and I also wanted to save the originals which are in perfect condition. But while the new grips fit the old gun just fine, they do take a shorter grip screw. That is, if I use the older screw, the end sticks out on the palm side and I feel it.

Jack First gun parts can't seem to figure out the part number for the new screw, and smith and wesson won't get back to me and I can't get them on the phone for it. Anyone know that part number? Or anyone who might have that screw? Many thanks.

*Edit: And yes, I've spent time on ebay without results.

If you can't find the correct screw just size one of the longer ones. Simple

They're not threaded long enough. And don't seem to be a common thread size. Hardware store is useless.
