If you bought some "10mm cable clips", would you expect that to be the inside dimension (ie the size of the cable they take) or the external size of the clip itself, if not otherwise stated?

That depends if they are 10mm T&E clips or 10mm round clips!
The round 10mm clips would take 10mm diammeter round cables (the diameter includes their insulation)

Round or flat?
If flat, then I would expect them to be designed to clip 10mm^2 T&E - so dims of 17 x 8.5mm approx.
If round then I would expect them to be slight smaller than a round flex of 10mm diameter.

Stated sizes foe e clips are a law unto themselves.
For instance, on the Toolstation website the stated sizes (single figure) refer to the thickness of the plastic used in the clip
Thus 1.5 mm flat clips - Website
Are in fact (5mm x 9mm) as is also stated on the box.
Which is yellow, if anyone is interested.
The ones I bought were, anyway.
