Assuming they're the same as '57 (and probably '53-'60), they're probably a medium carbon steel, definitely not stainless, as they're hardened thread cutting type BT #8 X 3/8 pan head Phillips drive.

I believe those screws were round-head, not pan-head.
My originals appear to be pan head with dimensions (larger dia and lower overall height) and profile comforming more to a pan head than round. They have about a .06 tall cylindrical section at the base of the head, not typical of a round head, I think.
