OK, I had a look just now and it looks like any reasonable pointed screw of the right length will do the job, as long as the head is large and flat enough.
I have plenty in my stock to solve this, but found another problem....
I offered up the board (still drying and rather swollen along one edge) to realise the holes were nowhere near aligned.
After a bit of mental 3D gymnastics I worked out which face was out (brown) and which faced the relay panel (black foam) and which edge was the bottom (2 screwholes very close to it).
Whoever had been in there before had put the thing up upside down!  No wonder there were no screws; nowhere for them to go into. 
The only bonus on this is that the water damage and swelling is now on the top edge so 3 of the 4 screwholes are bone dry and as-new, with the third only slightly swollen.
Though if installed correctly the panel is actually about 1cm clear of both the floor and transmission tunnel side, so any water ingress would have to be quite severe to affect it much.
Anyway this highlighted another query. At the top of the panel is a flap of heavy, black insulation material, sort of bitumen-coated. The previous installer had placed the panel on top of this which I suspect is wrong.
Looking at it I think the panel should be a snug fit over the whole face of the relay panel, with that flap laid over the top edge of the panel, but then under the carpet (if it reaches that far).
Could someone have a quick look in their front passenger footwell beneath the very top part of the carpet, to confirm that please?
