One thing they all agree on is that it is a dog point set screw (which is why they are all special drawing numbers).

For more information on these screws, see Part Number 37H5410

My best information implies that 1500 cars originally had straight slot pan head screws, while 1600 cars had Phillips slot round head screws, and the substitute part numbers are functional aftermarket parts with different head style. There are other opinions, but so far no one seems to have definitive proof.
