Looking for non squared Hub/carriage bolts maker / source

I have a 1920 Cleveland which has 7/16 hub bolts/carriage bolts. They do not have a square fitting like most carriage bolts rather a larger round head. Anybody here have a contact or company for such a bolt? We just had the wheels remade by Calimer’s Wheel Shop in PA. the original Wheels had a mixture of the original hub/carriage bolts and then some modern hex bolts. We’d like to return them to the originals but obviously not many places make the non squared carriage bolts. Any sites / makers out there you can refer me too? Thank you.

If you can not find a source another option would be to find a standard carriage bolt with the closest head and then having a local machinist turn the square off the shank and even turn down the shank and rethread if needed to make them proper. This would be a very simple matter with a lathe and a small bit of time....
