Does anybody know where I can buy these low-profile screws (as sold by Hallberg Rassy Spares) in the UK?

Probably need 200-500 if I decide to proceed. Ideally No6 around 15mm in length.

Can't find anything exactly similar myself through my Googling (nearest I've seen is Seascrew who do a flange head No8).

TIA

PS. Sorry, should have been clearer - doesn't have to be torx - it's a low-profile flat head I'm after.

Why not just buy the ones from HR Parts? They're not particularly expensive. I renovated the deck on my old HR352 using the screws and plugs from HR Parts.
 
Pozi countersinks would be more readily available in all sizes, be a little more work countersinking each hole but would give a better flush end finish.

Just asking for an alternative UK source - is there something wrong with asking? BTW I've bought fittings from HR Parts before (pre-B) - reasonable service, if expensive.

Nothing wrong with asking, but nobody has suggested a viable alternative yet, and you know that the ones from HR will be good quality - which is more than you can guarantee from many eBay sellers. As for expensive, they're about the same price as other suppliers.

Early days - thanks for your reply btw.

No it doesn't have to be torx - just a low profile flat head (like a cap head screw but flatter/thinner in profile).

The one in that pic is a self-tapping screw for steel-to-steel applications; it's not a good replacement for your existing deck screws.

Good luck with your search. I have a HR352 and searched everywhere I could think of without success and had to always get them from HR parts. I’ve recently removed my teak deck so happily, have no need of them anymore.
