Not sure if 56 uses the same ones but if so, the head diameter looks to be an issue. Mine appears to be about 3/16" and am guessing length needed will be around 1/4.

My favorite supplier, McMaster-Carr doesn't have steel in that head size but does have a countersunk head in aluminum at .177 diameter and height at .051 that might work and fit the recess in the rubber. Shaft size at 3/32 might be too small though. Their next size shaft in other style rivets is 1/8 but head diameter goes up too.

jay-cee sales and rivetshttp://www.rivetsonline.com/ has a nice selection in various rivet types in steel down in that size range. They will ship overseas but maybe you can find one so you can identify the type and cross to what is available in Australia. $5 for a box of rivets and many times that for shipping would ruin my day.
