I need to order 2 sprockets and don't know what chain size I have center to center of the links is .425
 
I don't find any standard chain with that pitch. If you're sure that's what it is, you may be better off buying a length of a standard chain and sprockets to match it and ditching that one. Unless there is another sprocket involved, that is. May I ask how you arrived at the .425? and what is the pin diameter and width?

if you are a little off in your measurements you may have either #40 or #41 here's the specs:
