DMC 451 (published match, approximate); Anchor 233 (published match, very close); Sullivans 45327 (closest on screen, close). This page lists the conversions published by manufacturers first, then the closest threads on screen. A published conversion isn't always exact, so the on-screen difference is shown next to it.
