Does anyone know which yzf clamps I can use for my 2013 YZ 250 ? I'd like to eliminate some vibration

None of them bolt right up. The two strokes come with 25mm offset clamps and the modern four strokes come with 22mm offset. I'd argue that 22mm is a great upgrade for motocross use, so that may be a benefit. The 2016-2017 450 used 25mm offset if you prefer that. Regardless, you need both the top and bottom to be the same offset.

Four strokes use a different top tube clamp diameter than the two strokes; smaller by 2mm. So you can only use that if you can find someone to bore it out to the correct size.

And on top of all that, the stem length on the two strokes is different from the four strokes: 125 two stroke takes a short stem, four strokes take a medium stem, and the 250 two stroke takes a long stem.

If you're set on using stock, you can take a modern four stroke clamp set, swap the steering stem for the long one out of your current clamps, and bore out the top triple clamp to fit the two stroke tubes.

Or just go to an aftermarket set of clamps and bolt them right up.

I have Luxon top clamp and 4 stroke lower and the set up is amazing. Just swap and stem and bolt up. As easy as it gets.
