Unfortunately, I have endured the same quest as yourself to try and find a thumb screw for a 78 Rabbet Plane – and the bad news is, both types are called thumb screws, as you’ll see on this link:
The only differences sometimes are, the knurled ones usually have ‘knurled’ in their description, so don’t use that as a search word. Also occasionally the type you are trying to find can be called ‘wing’ thumb screws or wing bolts – even though they aren’t. More often though they are referred to as shouldered or un-shouldered thumb screws. Confusing, I know.
Anyway, this should help you: type the following into Ebay, exactly as written (copy and paste it):
