Actually, there is a difference. The real self-drilling screws have a drill tip. The self-tapping has a thread clearing zone.

So corrected answer should be

phosphate-coated self-drilling screws.

There you go... I just learnt something. Thanks !

Not sure it is the same, but a very happy new year in any event! And thank you!
You are as bad as I am, staying with a question even after it is closed because of some inner dissatisfaction... I will change the glossary entry and my answer. Thank you for your persistence and the best of the New Year to you!
