I think it would be either zpplcmr, pplr, or fplmr instead of cmr10.
Maybe a font expert can correct me if I'm wrong...
None works. And I have
$ locate mathpazo
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/mathpazo
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/mathpazo/fplmb.pfb
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/mathpazo/fplmbb.pfb
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/mathpazo/fplmbi.pfb
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/mathpazo/fplmr.pfb
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/mathpazo/fplmri.pfb
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/psnfss/mathpazo.sty
