Hi all. I'm finishing the outside of the bathroom I'm putting in my shop. The shop is finished with 29g R panel. I've ordered some to put on the outside of the bathroom. Where I'm stuck is finding screws to match the ones the contractor that put up the building used.
Here's a pic of the corner of the bathroom and the existing wall its next to:

I've gone down a rat hole looking for the screws. I've learned a lot about screws but I still can't find these. The contractor's no help.
The screws they used are #12 sheet metal screws with an extra pointy tip for self drilling through thin sheet metal. The head is what I think is a truss head, with a #3 square drive. There's a thin gasket under the head. And the heads are painted white. These are 1" long.
I've been through a bunch of screw catalogs. So far the closest I've found is either #10 square drives or #12 phillips. I realize that as long as I get close no one but me will notice, but I'd like to find the exact ones if I can.
