They are called drive screws, or hammer drive screws.
Don't fix it if it ain't broke!

I had hundreds or thousands of them at my job 35-40 years ago. I should have grabbed more of them.

Our local industrial/commercial machine shop carries an assortment..
I’ve be able to find exact duplicates ( by eye)  for many sandblasting and painting projects…
