Does anyone know what they are ?

Looks like 2 x 1 x 5 to me. If it is LEGO, then it is not in the BrickLink catalog.
Tallest 2 x 1 slope in the catalog is 2 x 1 x 3:

Yeah, 6 studs = 5 bricks.

The third dimension is usually given in bricks, no?
is 3 bricks tall.

Yes, I meant: “You’re right, it’s 5 bricks; Gandalf68 said 6 instead of 5 because
he must have counted in studs.”
So many words I forgot to write the first time

Whitout these slopes, i would have to abandon the idea of building that MOC because
they are too important for the overall shape

Maybe find a smaller slope and break the shape up?

The only slopes that come close are:
but they are 18° (actually 21.80°) to the needed 9.46°.
Another solution is to use these new wedge plates:
Exact same angle, but a totally different build… and studs and antistuds instead
of a smooth surface.

WOW ! That's what i call precision  I'm amazed by your knowlege of
Lego !
I must admit that the new wedge plates may be a tempting solution but as you
said, totally different build and full studs instead of studless (and i try to
avoid studs as much as i can)
It's a shame because as you can see, the MOC is gorgeous, and the fact that
it is almost exclusively "brick build" contribute greatly to this

Nah, I just know the common parts, by poring over the catalogue and LDraw & Studio’s
libraries.
Others here know everything, up to the rare parts, and their IDs!, by heart.

It’s LEGO: you need to build under constraints

Unfortunately this particular angle is impossible to recreate with the available
slopes

Hi again
It could be mega bloks part
Slope brick 70 1 x 5 x 2 (AM03767)
seems like the original MOC maker decided that LEGO purity was less important
than making something they enjoyed.
I sort of agree them them.

Yes, of course
I guess it's a matter of luck, like finding some in a yard sale or something
... but then again, the odds of finding those exact parts would be astronomical
