You happen to be very lucky.
I have just found one of my original ones I removed.
The square section measures 1.9mm x 2.36mm
Length is as in the photo
I am an electrician and would usually try and source the terminals separately but for the cost and ease I would still buy these from Volvo.
They come pre crimped to about 6" of wire.
So with the Volvo ones you can be sure the crimp is correct and good, the length of wire is ready to solder to the car wiring.
You would also need the correct crimp tool
And you can be sure they are actually the correct terminals for the housing and will correctly lock into the plastic housing securely. It would be a shame to buy terminals, have the hassle of fitting them and still have issues ??? Even volvo have so many different terminals and many look similar but are slightly different to each other.
I was also told these terminals are an "upgrade" / "Higher spec" from the originals
