Are you looking for just the nuts, or do you need the studs AND nuts? The type of nuts you show are normally used with roller rocker arms, but they can be used with stock type rockers also. Those may or may not clear stock valve covers, also. We need a little more information.
Is this a stock engine?
What size studs do you have?(7/16"?)
Do you have roller rocker arms, or stock rocker arms?
What valve cover are you using?
This info will help us with our answers, and suggestions, and get you the correct suggestions.

Hi, thank you for your answer. I've got all stock vette (it's a matching numbers car). I need both nuts and studs (I don't know which size are them :( which size matches l68 stock arms ?)

Most, if not all big blocks had 7/16" studs. If you need the studs and nuts, I have to assume that the (rocker arm)guide plates are also needed?
I(personally) don't see the need for the high-dollar posi-lock type nuts on a stock engine. NEW nuts will hold the adjustments just fine. I would look for some stock style studs and nuts, but I realize your location may make finding/getting parts more difficult.
I would search for someone that carries everything you need, that will ship to your location....I don't know how many Corvette places do that, but I have to assume a lot of them do. Also, you do not have to order the studs/nuts/guide plates from a Corvette vendor...any major auto parts supplier would be able to get these parts.

Hi, thanks a lot mate. No one ships vette parts in ukraine (afaik I've got the only one c3 in ukraine), the only way to get parts here is to use any shiping company, so all I need is just a link to the correct studs and nuts, thanks a lot for helping again.

That site doesn't show to have the stock style nuts, or guide plates, if you need the plates too. I'll look further for more suppliers.....
