In the drawing office we used to put our A3 drawings into books having
punched 4 holes. Through the holes and covers was a brass 2 piece clip.
One half was a large flat head on a tube with an internal thread. The
other half was a similar head but with a threaded stud. The two screwed
together to hold the book together.

Now for the question - what are they called and where might I get
something similar?

They appear to be called screw post binders, and the parts you mention
binding posts and screws:
