I am
confused about the designation on oversized bolts. Can anyone help ?

Thank you in advance.

Kjell,
Several NAS and MS bolts are available in diameters 1/64 inch oversize
(also 1/32 over). The advice from others that making the hole larger
may weaken the part too much is correct, and you have no real way of
knowing that. Getting a suitable bolt is not much of a problem. To
assure that the link is strong enough, you may have to replace it.
