Request for information re: tray size and availability

I am intrigued by the advantages of having some safe handling (and eventual corner-mounting) border when contact printing 8x10 negatives on the new Lodima paper in 9x11 size:

However, my "darkroom" is a bathroom that must be temporarily converted for each use. I long ago made an epoxy-finished wood "dry sink" to hold up to 8x10 trays in a corner of that room. Unfortunately, it isn't large enough for 11x14 or Paterson 12x16 trays.
A possible solution is Paterson 10x12 trays, which aren't distributed in North America. Would anyone who has some please measure the exterior (i.e. outside the rolled "lip") dimensions for me? I'm hoping they are small enough to fit between the partitions of my dry sink creation. Also, in case they do turn out to be usable, please suggest any retail source that would be willing to export some to North America.
Thanks very much in advance for your assistance.
