It should be a common M6 stud, 20-25mm long, Ace hardware perhaps?

I think the threaded holes in the trans are M7. If you are in an isolated area with no vendors of M7 studs/bolts, you can get them online at, for instance, https://belmetric.com/

Now that you mention it M7 does ring a bell, please disregard my previous advice.

if we are talking the steel sleeve the TO slides on, the fiche gives the stud as 7mm x 32mm. It does not give the pitch.
Part N 014 449 2 up to 213 2 194 781
washer 7N 012 134 2
lock nut N 011 007
After 1973 they used a 7mm bolt x 15 mm long
Part N 040 203 3
Weddle has them https://weddleindustries.com/products/H-BM7X15H/H-BM7X15H M7 x 1.0 x 15mm
says use with specific lockwasher # H-WM7-STL
