I think itʼs the other way around: those variants were added in a
later version of org than the one youʼre using (and the online manual
thus describes them). Theyʼre definitely available in emacs-27 and
later. From memory, current org still supports emacs-26, so you could
try installing the latest packaged org from ELPA.
