Does the T60 use the same screws as the T61?

I ordered a pack of screws on Ebay advertised as being for the T60. I just got it and there are around 70 or so screws in the little bag, although there's a sticker on the bag that has "T61" handwritten on it. I just want to make sure they sent me the right item. Does the T61 use the same screws as the T60?

The Thinkpad screws sizes are fairly standardized, although coloration/coating and head shapes may change between generations.

T60 and T61 probably use the same size 2x3mm, 2x5mm, 2.5x5mm hinge, middle-length heatsink, and long-length palmrest / keyboard screws. There are longer palmrest screws for thicker R and Z series. T42 long palmrest screws are a little longer than T500 palmrest screws, and are the same length as T520 long screws.

When in doubt, read the HMM for each model.
They tell you exactly what size screw is used where.
