You are correct. For the receiver sight that uses the cutoff hole in the receiver, its 26 tpi.

I successfully used a 10/24 (or 24 tpi) socket head screw with my Redfield No Drill Receiver sight by heating the screw until red, and then allowing to cool to room temperature. I ground the socket head down by mounting in a drill press and filing/sanding until the screw entered the recessed bolt hole. The 24tpi thread mismatch didn't start to bind until I was 90% into the threaded hole, and then, the now soft 10/24 bolt threads gave into the 26tpi threads. For me, it was a one way installation.

I later found out that the sling swivel screw is the same thread pitch (26TPI) and is much easier to obtain that the rare longer Redfield 26tpi cut-off/sight replacement screw.
