Jeff,

I think it is an approximation of US SMS (Sheet-metal screw) sizing, but I would get the proper fasteners from Porsche or your favorite parts purveyor.

Also check "Bel-Metric", large selection of metric fasteners, e.g. here for speed-nuts:

And this page for metric-sized loose-washer sheet metal screws:
