It looks Schneider Electric provides the subject product but hard to find it in the consumer market.

So that thread is 11 years old. What is shown in that photo is definitely a 120 V receptacle, not 240 V. Still not aware of a 240 V GFCI receptacle in the US.

The EU RoHS declaration calls it a "S703270045 : Orion - duplex American socket outlet 2P+E 15A 250V GFCI with fixing frame white"

The instructions call it a "GFCI Receptacle 125VAC 15A & 20A (Version 03)"

The geometry is 5-15R (15A) or 5-20R (20A).

No question it is a 120V device in NEC land.

If you open the RoHS declaration you see

So Schneider has a typographical mistake on the web page, but the actual documents appear to have the correct information.

There has been no need for a 240V GFCI receptacle until recently, and even now, is there a demand? Typically a 240V device ends up on a dedicated circuit with its own breaker, so you just use a GFCI breaker. So no demand = no production.
