Take out the one that's left, (remove the driveshaft....) take it to your local hardware store, and match it up.

Might want to pickup some spiral screw extractor sockets that are close to the size of the head of the bolt to remove the rounded bolt, along with using a torch to heat that bolt to help it loosen up.

It looks like they should be 7/16" but that sounds large to me.

What did they sell you?
