Does anyone know of any filmholders that are compatible with the Eastman Commercial view camera?

Thanks

I would think any standard two-sided film holder should be fine. Plastic ones like Lisco, Fidelity or Riteway are popular and likely to be more reliable than wooden holders.

Condition is everything so it's good to be able to first check for warping, light leaks, cracks, etc. before buying.

Be aware the Kodak Commercial View made in the UK are Half plate cameras, while the Eastman Kodak, Rochester version is 7x5. However both are standard International backs and the outside dimensions of the Half plate and 7x5 DDS (plate or film holders) are the same. The only difference is the half plate ground glass screen is slightly smaller on the British version.
