Thanks to all those who helped off-list. To summarize, the "missing" 
2-56 1/4" screws for the front panel standoffs were located in the VFO 
bezel screw pouch which is apparently their normal location.

I guess I just don't equate a standoff with a bezel. Plus the warnings 
about damaging bezels by using incorrect screws - I didn't open the 
pouches ahead of time to avoid mixing anything up.

Radio Shack carries a 2-56 screw assortment if anyone is ever in need. 
In fact I used one of the RS screws as a sacrificial piece when opening 
up the screw holes on the faceplate.

All is well and the K3/10 construction resumes after the small road bump.

One final note. When I unsealed the LCD bezel screw pouch, one of the 
four screws was obviously longer than the others. Nothing that I can't 
fix, but beware of that possibility before you attach the bezel.
