I'm looking for a piece of material as shown below. Anybody what this specific pattern/style of plate is called?

 

To me that's called "diamond plate"  but there's as many patterns as days in a year.

P.p.s.. Also looking for a drill and tap set for standard American/English threads. What sizes should I be looking for?

At home I've got a set with drills and taps for M3-M12. Is there something similar available in the non-metric flavour?

 

You're in the range of 3/32" to 1/2" there, give or take....

Check some of your bolts to see if they're fine or coarse thread.  

That said, I have both sets of taps and dies on hand.

Also looking for a drill and tap set for standard American/English threads.

it is easy to go down the rabbit hole with these. I have two medium quality sets. Today these would be USD 40 and 15 respectively. It is easy to get light duty for less and “mechanic” or “production” quality for much, much more (for example with spiral flutes for more precise work, and special alloys for long tool life--think USD 300 and up). 

One set has six fine thread taps and dies and six coarse thread taps and dies. 26 pieces all together including the handles. The dies are for cutting threads (the round style vs. the hex-shaped ones intended for chasing threads). They are sized in inches (SAE) ¼, 5/16, ⅜, 7/16, and ½”. These correspond to the most common sizes I see on the WH tractors and other projects and have served me well for many years of light use. 

The other has only taps sized for screws #4 to #8 in both coarse and fine thread -- these are commonly used by electricians for electrical boxes and panels. I need them only rarely (they were a gift) and only once (so far) on a WH!
