It's very unlikely to be a unique chain - maybe you can see some markings on it?
No matter - if its a tooth sharpening file you need, insert a twist drill (at an angle) thats a snug fir into the tooth and take your file size from that. Failing that, shoot along to your nearest horticultural machine store - they'll match the chain, sell you a spare (always a good move) and sort you a file and guide too.

If you look on the bar near the engine, usually the chain info is stamped into or printed onto it there

Sorted it , 4.5mm round file now to find a supplier
 
Buy an electric sharpener for chainsaws. Much easier and quicker than a file. And far safer as it less likely to cause the chain to cut unstraight!

You still require a flat file to lower the depth gauges which need doing after a few cutter sharpenings .Look at the stihl 2 in 1 guides which a pretty good for beginners
