screw identifiers in PET

how are the screw identifications in the PET to be interpreted? for example, here's one that I lost:

Illustration 201-03
part no. N 043 864 1
Screw
BM 3 X 6

what does the "BM" mean? I assume "3 x 6" is millimeters of the head and shaft. I have not found this style of identifier in the usual places (Fastenal, Bolt Depot, etc.), so I am lost when trying to find it in the local hardware fastener drawers.

another screw I have from the same illustration,
N 013 957 5
Tapping screws
B 3,5 X 9,5

this one has a measured thread pitch of 1.25
