Pretty certain there are only the 44mm fox forks, before the fox's were the simons 37mm. Have you come across some 40mm forks?

Unless he's trying to measure with a ruler instead of verniers?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1978-Yamaha-XT-500-TT-Fox-40-mm-Baja-Forks_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742Q2em153Q2el1262QQcategoryZ10066QQihZ020QQitemZ300279867575

some one got a bargain here, but i got the clamps ;D will they be 40 or 44mm we shall see. i might be interested in swaping them for a set of White Brothers or Profab triple clamps for a leading axle XT/TT 500 or IT yamaha. Thor Lawson said 40mm would be news to him but perhaps they made a one off 40mm set for a pro XT/TT 500 sponsored Baja rider?

otherwise sellers verniers were faulty or they were very very slack and tryed using a steel ruler.

Simons forks come up on Ebay US pretty often, just gotta look regularly.
