Rivet Ident...

Good morning,

I am sorting through a pile of blind rivets (it's not a good story....OCD is an illness) and I cannot figure out what these are (see pic.). It sort of looks like an MSP-42, but with a ringed mandrel, and the head is smooth domed, unlike the MSP-42 which has a pronounced concave dimple around the mandrel hole.

Anyone?

TIA

B

Is it that a flush head (per Section 5, pg. 33 descriptions) ? Looks kinda like an MK-319-BS, minus the ringed mandrel. Maybe they come with those also?
 
open the build manual to the rivet identification page and lay it over the 1:1 drawings.
 
Mystery Rivet...

Updated picture...

Top is the Mystery Rivet.
Bottom, closest to the scale, is the MSP-42.

Note the difference in the head shapes -- both are domed. Also the mystery rivet has rings along the mandrel, and it's body is slightly longer than the MSP-42.
