The screws should be stainless steel, phillips pan or flat head. Some
may have been painted to match the cabinet or panel. Good hardware
stores carry the unpainted stainless steel parts these days. Look in the
specialty hardware collection of small drawers.

McMaster-Carr carries box quantities of similar hardware at good prices,
but you don't need 100s. www.mcmaster.com

Small Parts in Florida carries stainless phillips hardware in small
quantities. http://www.smallparts.com/products/descriptions/mpx%2dp.cfm

Collins specific collections might be a marketable item. I'll consider
the options.
