We have a customer that requires a certain type of PPE glove to be used when operating MD5 HMI. The system we have planned is using 10" display but we don't currently have a unit here to trial, instead I have tried a MD5-5 with the certain glove type and it works OK.
Is the 10" version just a scaled 5" and therefore I can assume as long as it works with the 5" it will be fine with the 10" version? I guess it depends if the same manufacture and screen tech is shared between the different modules?

The touch sensor technology and also the supplier is the same, and in our own tests on glove use we have the same acceptance criteria.
That said, all four sizes of the MD5 have different configurations, they are not identical.
If the specific glove has been shown to work with the MD5-5 there is a good chance it will also work well with the other sizes. But I'd recommend testing, especially if it is a thicker glove.
This is what the manual has to say:
