Found on the web:
3/8 bolt is .375 inch while the #10 is .394 inch

Would it still be within tolerance of generic nuts?

What does 3/8" have to do with this?

A #10 screw od is 0.19".

3/16" is 0.1875.

My thread gauge says it is a #10-24 for both the 510 and 520 versions with different lengths. I can measure the lengths if you need them.
