Looks like Phillips to me. Looks like Phillips to Nelson too but he says (hints 
maybe) that they are 
posidrive (at Buckeye). I see lots of them a little screwed up so maybe they 
are not really 
Phillips. I think Kai said something about these screws at one time.

But I'll check out the Torx thing. I have a bunch of Torx heads, but kind'a 
forget exactly what they 
look like. Only one screw has the center post thing (the one with the brass 
tag), but otherwise it 
looks just like all the rest.
