Olivetti M24 Mounting Bushes for Bus Converter
  I looked up rivnuts and they certainly look
similar. They are
 definitely not standoffs though. I shall look closer at rivnuts. 
 also look at nutserts.
 Riv-nuts are pop-rivets with a threaded center.  Usable through sheet 
metal,
  and into blind holes (very carefully) Nutserts call
for drilling and 
threading a
  hole and screwing them in.
 I'm assuming that you are talking about threaded inserts in a plastic 
piece?
  
I have posted the pictures here:

The pictures show three things:
1. The square holes that the mountings go into.
2. The top and bottom side of the steel mountings.
3. The top and bottom sides of the nylon (?) mountings.
I find myself to really need the steel mountings to be able to mount the bus
converter, I am hopeful that I can move a couple of existing nylon ones.
Regards
Rob
