Sheet film dimensions

I'm new to large format photography. I have bought a Speedgraphic 4x5 camera with several film holders. They are labelled 3.5x4.5.

Is this the same size as 4x5 film in box, such as from Kodak or is this film size no longer produced? Thanks, Steve

If those film holders fit your camera you have been screwed. 3 1/4x4 1/4 cameras are orphans, and go for about half what 4x5 cameras sell for. That's mostly because the film is no longer made. Personally, I think it's a better size than 4x5.
