I think semi-chisel Oregon 3/8 x 0.058 chain is 73DPX. Any Oregon DPX chain that matches the gauge of your bar (0.050, 0.058, or 0.063) would work fine though. 0.050 is Oregon number code 72, 0.058 is 73, 0.063 is 75.
 
Use semi-chisel in our hardwoods, especially when dead/dry. I run 3/8 and .325. I got a full chisel chain with a new saw and the cutting corner dulled much quicker while cutting dead on the ground gum and ironbark. I had a smaller saw with semi chisel that I used on the same pile and could do more with it between sharpens.
