Best to call Hutchins on that.  Describe your rigging to them (logos on the u shackles would help).  the prior owner may have changed the rigging.
Or you could always try known size bolts in the turnbuckles.  1/4"-20, 5/16-20 would be good starts.

Bottom line, it's tough to know exactly what is on your boat for sure without measuring yourself.

Gabi:
I ordered new stays (and shrouds) for our C-16 from Hutchins, they came with turnbuckles.
