Can  anyone verify that the retaining Bolts that screw into the compressor

Nothing scientific here but my AC mounting bracket bolts do not seem  to be 
metric thread size or pitch. That is to say they don't match any of my  other 
Audi fasteners. The curious part is a 1/2" wrench won't fit the head  and a 
9/16" is loose.
Are they the dreaded Whitwurth or some such eclectic oddball?!?!?
