A quick search on Google shows poly suspension kits with square outer profile, one kit was 40m.m. are you sure of your 38m.m. dimension? John.

 That does not sound right. A missing zero? Was that what you were told or they need it after 5,000km.

Anyway, there are many different size variations. Try this site.

Edit. I see you previously posted about some roads well off the beaten track. If the bushes are worn out due to corrugations the shock absorbers are probably worn out as well. Maybe lower speed and reduced tyre pressures would have helped.
