Yep but can no one tell what type of screw the bit (or screwdriver)
is for when it hasn't got PH or PZ markings?

The part and markings at 45deg to the X are a good clue.

On the screw head yes but not on the driver.

The best one is to line the bit and screw up and see if they stay in
line. This will confirm size and type more accurately.

True enough but you've looked at your screw and it has the X on the
cross. You have two screw drivers without PZ/PH markings. How do you
know which is the pozi one *without* checking the fit?

For ordinary screwdrivers buy the Wickes ones - the Pozi have blue handles,
the Phillips have red.

For bits you can usually see the X on the tip.
