Something is probably funky with the two VINS, but I can tell you the
square drive sheetmetal screws were installed by a Canadian...square
drive or "Robertson" screws as they are called are very popular in
Canada.  According to Wikipedia 85% of screws sold in Canada have
Robertson heads....that seems a little high to me but they sure are
better than Phillips head or plain slotted screws....
