The 64 probably uses screws made to US specs rather than metric. They probably designed it US screws since that part was done in the USA. But when it came to making it, I'd say the plants used whatever was available locally and fit. Remember, the C64 was made all over the world including Germany, Hong Kong and the UK. On first insertion, the screws cut their thread into the plastic of the case so there is no need to get too specific.
