Flutes have knock pins instead of pinning screws - I personally can't stand knock pins as they are often difficult to remove if they're made from soft steel.
The ones on your S2 most likely have a 13BA thread - later and current Howarths use 12BA which are slightly larger (and they have countersunk heads). I usually refit 12BA pinning screws when overhauling older Howarths. On oboes with knock pins I replace them with pinning screws.
