Brooks B.66.

The 'small, round-headed bolt' is not a bolt, but a rivet. The rails and tension rod assembly on a B.66 is made as one item, rivetted together at the front.
When the rivet becomes loose, as they frequently do, the solution is to saw through the rivet and replace with a nut and bolt. Simple, really.
