I honestly don't see a difference. As long as the original parts are kept

wrong size, wrong threading, etc.) to the case then it doesn't affect the
machine negatively.
Unless you can come up with a good reason why this should not be done.

The point is it is easier to keep it original that to restore it. If you
tape the screws in it and they get lost there is a problem, if you tape a
wrench in it and it gets lost it is still original.

Just
place the originals screws in a pouch (and for Tony, with a note
explaining what they're doing in there) and fasten it to the inside of
the
computer somewhere.
A better idea, surely, is to get the L-shaped Bristol Spline key that
fits said screws and tape that inside the machine. That is, if you don't
think future repairers will have a full toolkit.
