Having slackened the four bolts on one side of the towbar to drop it for repair work, I have nipped them up to clamp the exhaust hanger repair in place. They will need tightening properly...
Question is, what torque should I tighten them to :-\

Made me laugh did that. ;D :y
This is all it says on my paperwork.
Recommended torque settings: M8 - 27Nm, M10 - 53 Nm, M12 - 95 Nm, M14 - 150 Nm,
M16 - 214 Nm

I checked them once on the old estate we had.... they were all lose!
Tightened them all back up and rechecked after towing a few times and they were still tight.

Neither. M10 bolts generally have a 17mm head.

Yep, done with a calibrated lean on a breaker bar.
Although, as I have torque-wrenches handy, I do tend to use them when the required figure is readily available. I did once torque some Jag XK headbolts with a 3/8 torque-wrench which I can't recommend.
