In those very small sizes the threads are very similar. BSF, BA and metric. I used screws that fit.

They are 3/16 bsf, from memory.
The Bakelite covers use the same fastenings as electrical wall socket cover plates, see here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Quality-M3-5mm-Electrical-Machine-Screws/dp/B07T733NQ3/ref=asc_df_B07T733NQ3/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=427942049642&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6875531080848664298&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9046942&hvtargid=pla-778831978282&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=108041152508&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=427942049642&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6875531080848664298&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9046942&hvtargid=pla-778831978282

Beware there are different threads on some of the apparent similar looking screws for wall socket plates.
