There aren't...., really. They list 10mm, but the latest change is the 7mm. For the turbo especially, you want the smaller hole so LESS surface area of the nozzle is directly subjected to pre-chamber cumbustion/heat.

I think there's a glut of 10mm heat shields out there that no one wants to use anymore, so they still list trying to get rid of them.

They could probably be used in an old 240, but you don't want them in a 300DT.
