I believe those are regular carriage bolts, available at any hardware store. You will have to grind and buff the modern markings off the heads and strip off the cad plating before you paint them.
The inevitable often happens.

Don't step bolts usually have a somewhat larger diameter, but shorter height head on them than the equivalent carriage bolt?

Is this one close enough to the right size? Or perhaps a similar one of their's. I have no connection other than having bought from them.
