Original design was 10 rounds. Don’t think they ever went in service.

Yeah, like pa_dweller implied, Garands did not have 10 rounds. In the original design they did, with the new .276 Pederson round. However, when the Army stuck with .30-06, the en-bloc clip was reduced to 8 rounds, and that’s the way they were fielded.
