12 speed jockey wheels for Chorus 10 RD

I’m running a campy 12 speed compact crank with 12 speed chain against a 10 speed chorus RD and FD.

Shifting is perfect but there is a touch of noise from the jockey wheels which probably need to be replaced anyway, are there 12 speed jockey wheels which would mount up properly to my 10 speed chorus RD?

You want to stay with what you have Unless you're willing to replace both and file the screws down a bit.

Yes, or you can price out a 12s pair along with the bolts.

Maybe split the difference and use an 11 speed chain?
In any case, 12 speed jockey wheels are larger in diameter than 10 speed and will probably not fit the derailleur cage
