I suspect that the originals were round as well, but time, heat and pressure
mold them to match the (square cross section) cavity that they live in.

At any rate, I used ordinary round rings in my Stag carbs, and they seem to
work just fine.

MMC does have some O-rings in both square and 'quad' cross section; but I
don't know about size, offhand.
