Any help locating a place to get these would be appreciated.

And if someone could tell me what the one on the left is called, that would also be appreciated.

The one on the left looks like a broken or cut off DECK screw. The one on the right just looks like a standard bolt.
I don't know if you have access to a Home Depot or Lowe's but if you do they should have them both. If not try a local hardware, they look like they are probably pretty common items.
ENJOY !!! RED

I tried a local hardware store, and they don't carry sizes this small. They suggested a hobby shop.

Piper Chuck, I looked briefly at that site but couldn't find the one on the right.

Red Head, I'll look at deck screws, but the only one's I can find on the internet don't have thread going all the way to the head.

Thanks so the help so far.

If you decide to get the screws from RTL, make sure you get some socket head servo screws. These things are the best thing since sliced bread.

What do the screws fit? Sometimes knowing the application helps, sometimes it doesn't.

Tips on both are con-cave and were formed that way. Typical use might be assemble of plastic parts.

Unless Timepilot gives us a useage it will be hard to help much more IMO.
