McMaster-Carr shows a 9/32" round files in 2 finishes (Coarse and fine) but they are rat tail files with
some taper and the drawing shows them to be 0.275" diameter , slightly smaller than 9/32" .
Might be worth a try if you can't find anything else .

Can we ask for chain size? For 3/8LP and .325 pit chains, use 4.0mm (5/32”) file. For 3/8 pitch chain, use a 4.8mm (3/16”) file. For the 404 pitch chain, the recommended is 5.5mm (7/32”) file.

He's looking for files for 9/16 chain, Oregon #4, I believe, from the 1950s.

Round saw chain files in this size are hard to find because the chain and saws to pull it haven't been made since the 60s probably.

Also, most 3/8 chain I've encountered used the same 7/32 files as 404 with the exception of Stihl 3/8 using 13/64.
