if they are torx 25 then they are M5
if Torx 30 then M6
if Torx 30 then M6
The top two I think are M5 x 12. They are definitely M5, you could use slightly longer ones if necessary. That is from RealOEM, however I couldn't find the other one. Are you fitting a mudsling by any chance? If so you really should use longer ones anyway.
The screws that I took out were both cross heads, & they were in when I got the bike; Mudsling has been on for a while, but I'm taking the rear assembly to pieces to sort the frame out and make it look all pretty again

My Mudsling has two extended pan head screws with hex sockets M5 x 15mm. The originals were too short.

Ive just been going though all the screws I took off my bike back end. All are neatly bagged up, but I can't find those hex socket pan heads under the MudSling. They will turn up - lots of bags!!!
They are M5 for sure and screw into a captive spring clip nut as used all over the frame for bodywork mounts. To be sure of the correct length, measure the depth of the hole and add 6mm for threading. The two at the top of the Mudsling will hit the seat catch wire springs if they are too long so best to check. The other three are less critical.

Could you take all the screws out of the bags, label them individually, lay them out and then post a picture....cos it'll save me a job!

Oh yes. They'll be all be going back exactly in the right places. Who knows how much stuff I'll have left over (or missing) when it's rebuild time.
FYI.....a couple of M5 x 20 dome heads fitted into the arrowed holes rather sweetly......so there you have it
