chain stitch attachment question

Does anyone know, does the chain stitch attachment that goes with the Touch & Sews (mostly 600 series, afaik) fit on/work with the Singer 400 series?

I had never seen one, just knew that there was such a thing. I found one on Etsy; the complete set, with the throat plate, the bobbin cover and the guide finger. As soon as I saw it, I knew that it wouldn't work-the throat plate is wrong.
I think my confusion comes from the fact that I knew that at least one of the 400 series could do a chain stitch, but ISMACS says it's the 411.
WRT chain stitching-some machines (notably the Touch & Sews, apparently) came with an attachment set that would make a chain stitch. I've seen them used for both embroidery and for making slopers and muslins.

To the best of my knowledge (which my be wrong) a chain stitch is mainly a temporary stitch that is used like the closure on a potato/onion/dog food bag. If you pull the right (or wrong, if done accidentally) thread, you can pull out the entire row of stitching. On the DSM, one would use it mainly for temporary sewing to "fit" a garment. Many Sergers do a form of chain stitching. On the DSM, the bobbin thread is not used (if I remember correctly). hence the need for the cover plate. It has been many years since I saw/used a DSM with this feature. It is not something that I desire on my machine.
