Door Trim Torx Screw part number?

I'm having a hard time replacing a missing torx screw.

I'm looking for the screw that holds the door jam trim (the metal trim) in. I'm missing one, and it is driving me nuts...

In looking at the other screws, I believe the one I'm missing is a #6 3/4 inches long (18 or 19mm), with a flat countersunk head, stainless steel I presume (not sure about the threads). I can find Philips head replacements that will work, but I would like to find the torx (non-security) version.

I have searched many different websites, and while they have numerous screw types, I can't seem to find this particular screw. Anyone have any advice or a Mercedes part number?

Plutoe I am an hour and a half from the nearest dealer. I contacted one dealer via their web site parts inquiry page, they never responded to my inquiry (but now I get their spam emails). I called another dealer, who (after several minutes being transferred around to "the parts guy") simply said I would probably need to just bring the car in so they could look at it and then they would probably have to special order it...

I ultimately found the part numbers myself using Star SDS EPC and ordered both part numbers above from RBM of Atlanta:

A 002 984 55 29
A 002 984 45 29

One is a little longer than the other, both are used in this door trim.

I needed license plates screws the other day. Ace hardware has TONS of stainless metric stuff. Just saying. Pop a screw out and head to Ace to match it up.
