Axel, Mark

I tried both of your suggestions (different variations of same thing), but still get incorrect true values for files with leading zeros that don't exist.

Really?  It works fine here. Here's your script with nothing changed except how found_first is set (well, I also took the "display dialog" out of the tell "Finder" block - no reason for that):

set firstFiles to {"Pic 1", "Pic 01", "Pic 001", "Picture 1", "Picture 01", "Picture 001"}

tell application "Finder" to set source_folder to (folder of the front window) as text

repeat with i from 1 to count of firstFiles
set this_item to item i of firstFiles
set file_name to (source_folder & this_item) as text
 try
            file file_name as alias
            set found_first to true
        on error
            set found_first to false
        end
       display dialog file_name & tab & found_first
end repeat

OMM, that  yields the expected results:

Macintosh HD:Users:mreed:tmp:Pic 1      false
Macintosh HD:Users:mreed:tmp:Pic 01     false
Macintosh HD:Users:mreed:tmp:Pic 001    false
Macintosh HD:Users:mreed:tmp:Picture 1  true
Macintosh HD:Users:mreed:tmp:Picture 01 false
Macintosh HD:Users:mreed:tmp:Picture 001        false
