I wonder if non-turbo engines have smaller diameter manifold studs.

I tried my old nuts as tangofox007 suggested. I could only get them thread on up to the crown of the nut (the ovaled part) so it looks like the self-locking feature is still intact.

Thanks All
Great news that you could re-use the exhaust manifold lock nuts.

BTW, the small 12mm hex exhaust lock nut (000-990-32-50), is used to mount the downpipe to the turbo.
