Default #7 screw?

I have a wall fixture that's held up with two machine screws. I'm
changing the way it's mounted and need shorter screws. But the screws
are smaller than a #8/32 and bigger than a #6/32. I even tried metric
and couldn't find a match. What size might this be?



*I see this often. I call them the Chinese 8/32. I have had success
retapping the holes and using real 8/32 screws. You could also try cutting
the screws that you have.
