I tried this modified form as suggested, and it seems to work correctly.
tell application "Finder"
tell file "00441.jpg" of desktop to set file_found to ((it exists) and (its name begins with "00441.jpg"))
end tell
I experimented with the latter for a few minutes. It works, but it can be slow.I think the best solution is to avoid use of the Finder.
I found Yvan's suggestion to be a better solution that is simple and works instantly and unambiguously.
