TR4/4A trying to identify bolts etc

I downloaded the tr4 spare parts catalogue and the hardware catalogue from the links I was graciously given a while back. The hardware catalogue contains the nuts and bolts which is what I'm after however when I get the part# from the parts ctalogue then try and find it in the hardware catalogue, no luck. The part #'s I get are all numbers but in the hardware catalogue they all have a two letter prefix so when I do a document search I get nuthin..Do I have the right URL's? Is there something I'm missing?
these are the url's I was given:

plus this one https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2...IyZmU3ZTc1Y2M4
 
When the part number is all digits, it indicates the associated piece is non-standard in some way. Exactly what is different is not indicated; might be a special material (eg stronger steel), a particular grip length (the unthreaded portion of the bolt, which is important in some cases), a special feature (eg a locking insert or unusual shank diameter), or just a thread not found in the standard hardware list.

In such cases, my suggestion is to buy from TRF (who lists parts by their original part number and at least tries to get original parts duplicated).

PS your links didn't work for me, so here they are again

Thanks Randall..still some good diagrams in the parts catalogue though. I forget where I saw it but somebody had what was suppose to be a complete kit containing every nut and bolt for these things. Don't think I'll go that route cause I have most of them,just need to figure out which goes where..Some of 'em I bagged and marked but unfortunately a lot sorta escaped that exercise..I must be LD cause it never fails, I get in a hurry and on a roll thinking I'll remember where this and that goes but of course I never do..aaargh...
 
I have not actually made a list of part #'s for the unidentified bolts yet. I've not quite gotten there yet. I'm just now almost finished with the chassis, differential, and engine work and no bolt issues so far with those. The next phase will entail the suspension and braking system, front and rear, which is going to be the first place I may be missing some attachment hardware.thanks to you guys I know now where to find the part#'s at least, . I'll post back begging for mercy and help as soon as I get the list together..
I'm almost certain I have 'em, it's just that finding one that works doesn't always mean it's actually the right one.
