The screws for the "beak" are called out as the same as those for the door
check straps. I'm thinking those may have been Phillips heads. Looking at
the engine tin bolts, those are different (cheese head) but also have the A
prefix, so my guess is that the A indicates that extra notch in the beginning
threads that clears out paint, like a tap. VW used that style anywhere the
screw would have encountered paint in a new car.
