The modern oval head screws are not quite right.

They are too thick. You need to be sure they have clearance for the use.

They do not look right. If you look at the originals they come down to a pointy edge. The new screws are rounded.

I chuck them up in a battery operated drill and use a file to reshape the heads close to factory. Then I use sandpaper to get the proper finish for the use. Some were polished so to I went to 1000 grit and buffed. The door post screws I left at like 400 so paint has something to stick to.
