Transmission top screws

I seem to be missing this info when I search...

1950 Transmission top...should it use slotted (flat) screws?

Is there a guide for different years? I couldn't find it in Palmers, but I might have missed it.

Thanks,
Craig

Here is a pic of my 1950 EL. I bought it from the original owner's family. It has Phillips head screws.

My 50 pan near 50FL8400 came with 100% original parts and parkerized slotted tranny screws.
If your bike is 100% original parts, no reproduction, vin is higher, then screws changed in 1950.
