Default 28-29 roadster and coupe machine screws size

Can anyone take the time to help me with these questions,
I'm looking for the correct size /style ie
(oval head, flat head machine screws/bolts)
for the locations I have marked. Any help from someone who has restored or has a original would be more than appreciated
There is no book with this information, and I feel this could benefit others as well

Best for you would be to buy the book "Ford Model A Standard Hardware 1928-1931" by Mick Isbell.

Each bolt is described in some level of detail and it's application.

Best price at https://www.mafca.com/cart/index.php?productID=118

Available at Amazon for about 3x the price.

I bought it thinking it would help, now it's great for size and style but not placement/specifics
Unfortunately very little body panel hardware is listed, mostly fenders, chassis and such

Hello I also working on replacing my back panel, mine was incorrectly welded in but on remaining hardware they are 1/4 -20 flatheads with unusual 1/2 inch hex and square nuts on inner sides.The bottom was tack welded and screws and d nuts missing so I can’t help there ,my car is a 31 so don’t have the cowl that you have,hopefully a 28 29 owners can help out.
