This is like asking which Rossignols have the FKS heel.

All the STH2 have the driver toe. Any of the first gen STH will say driver. The oversized is not the driver toe.

No not quite. Both the sth 12os and sth 10 use the oversized z toe rather then the driver. So sth12 os and sth10 are non driver. Sth12, 14 and 16 and sth2 13 and 16 use the driver toe. Some old sth 14's used the z toe but they are a good 6 years old now so it's unlikely you will see them in shops.

what's the defining characteristic of the driver toe piece?

I think you misunderstood. The previous generation STH will say "Driver" in the name if it has the driver toe.

Not always it's safer to look for the os in the name which stands for oversize toe then you know it's not a driver. But the sth10 does not say driver or os so you just need to know it's non driver.

The toe is on a sort of pedestal that sticks up the center, rather than the whole thing sitting on the ski.
Also adjustable toe wing height with the big flathead screw in the middle.
At least, this covers the modern ones.
