Thanks for the details, Noel!

Pictures of my brackets should be viewable at https://photos.app.goo.gl/wni3mDAQHozK9Ho27

The interesting/confusing bit for me is the bottom part...  In the second picture you can see that my brackets just have a punched oval hole at the bottom, and not a "tapped hole" per your description above.  The tabs on the chassis to which these brackets mount all have #10 press fit threaded bushings.

The bit at the top, with the plastic pieces (called out on the parts lists as "latch, molding") and countersunk #10 screws is clear, and looks like what you describe.

Something a lot of us are going to have to face in the upcoming months/years, it seems -- wishing you best!

I did not get exact measurements, however, I did find this part:

...which turns out to be a very suitable replacement: bezel diameter and post height are just right, marking lines up nicely with the panel, good feel and very sturdy.
