Are O ring dimensions in the Honda parts manual quoted as Inside Diameter and Thickness which is my conclusion

Indeed you are correct Paul. But, the sizes only relate if you are using OEM gaskets. Some after market gaskets are thicker meaning the OEM O ring sizes do not seal.
Thx Julie any idea what the OEM Head Gasket thickness is?
I should add I got a full gasket set from DS as it was shown as NE on their website but came on a plain card back with no branding so no idea of the manufacturer.
Hopefully head gasket and O rings should be compatible but am now worried - wondered if any one else had used the DS set recently

Also bought a complete gasket set for one of my 550s from M&P in their 20% off for £36. It is NE brand, but not used it yet and they don't seem to have a 500 set listed.

I used a DSS set for 500 about six months ago, but have only competed about 20 miles since..ok so far.

Did your DSS set come as NE branded or just on a plain card (if you can remember)

The pic shows the measurements
1) Does anyone have these measurements for NOS parts
2) Can anyone confirm if the DSS parts are going to be OK
