They are what join the main bed frame to the bedstead by the look of things

Does the curved 'nut' clamp around a rounded leg?
If so you could just use some 100mm Pan Head bolts with a normal hexagonal nut but use a 'Penny' washer.
You need to measure the thread as well, they look like 6mm, if so you would need to ask for the following;

4 off 100mmx6mm panhead bolts and 4 penny washers to suit.

Just take the bolt and the crescent moon shaped nut along to your nearest DIY place. Someone there should be able to match them up with something or advise where you could get replacements. I suspect you may struggle to obtain the nut though. Looks unique to me but I may be wrong.

the curved bit fits snug into like a circle in the wood, tried some penny washers but they wouldnt fit, theres no space on one side its just right for the bit

try here as a starting point (you'll have to dig round the site a bit). They have the halfmoon washers and the bed bolts by the look of it.

At least you'll know what to google for more locally

I think these are what you need from screwfix

and
http://www.screwfix.com/prods/78664/Fixings/Furniture-Fixings/Cross-Dowel-Bolt-M6-x-50mm-Pack-of-50

They are used in beds you will also need an allen key

Worktop clamps may furnish an appropriate crescent shaped nut or a spacer you can use with a conventional hexagonal nut.

for the ebay item simply ask the seller for permission to bid / buy now they will normally advise on postage costs to non UK. then bid, when you are sucessful press pay now and at the top of the pay page press ask seller for total, wait for the seller to adjust and then proceed to paypal
