Those are probably barrel nuts and screws. On delicate materials like plexiglass, the barrel length stops the screw head from applying to much compression of the material causing failure. They are purchased by diameter and material thickness. They are available in aluminum, stainless steel and others. Here is one good outfit that has them. The first link is to aluminum. The second link is to their section of styles.

I just pulled off those doors for a new flat panel. I MIGHT be able to give you those if I don't need them for a hinged lid I'm thinking about.

Have you tried C&G Screws Unlimited on 88 in Brick?

Kind of like a T nut or a Rivet nut
