Okay. I'll leave this for someone who knows more than I do about this.

Ah! That's the term I was trying to remember. Wooden dowels are great.

After seeing your pic, it looks really squar on top & someone used whatever they found for a rod.
I found this on the Menard's website. This one is only 2', but if you found one long enough rod to fit like this & it fit the existing supports, it should be a simple fix. https://www.menards.com/main/storag...a58e-4d3a-8b81-c1575a5bc1ed&ipos=28&exp=false
A round clothes rod is easy to find, but you may have to switch out all of your supports like the bracket & the rod wall sockets for it.

I was thinking the same, but with more chrome like shine as used in hospitals for sliding those privacy curtains.
I wasn't going to post simply because Deb ignores what I post. But since others are guessing I thought why not?

Looks like someone replaced sagging wooden original hanger rod with metal that's nice and rigid. I use round chain link top rail as hanger rods in the closets...no sagging.
Those wimpy spring-loaded rods don't hold up
Just get some steel conduit and end pieces
Cut the conduit to size
presto

You are right. Probably because we come up with solutions to the problems she has. Doing that shuts down the ability to continue objecting. Never did find out about the CV joint boots, the kitchen drain that was slow & a few other "problems".
Yeah, I do sometimes wish she'd respond
That steel conduit rocks
I've used it for many closets
Last I used it was in the rustic armoire I built
I did use PVC for the shower

This is a pic of how the ends attach to the wall.

Strangest set up I've seen, looks like something used in an industrial set up.
If you wanted to keep a shelf above the rod, this is an idea. It's an easy set up to do. The number of brackets would depend on how wide your closet span is.
In my entry closet, we used gas pipe & pipe flange. You can do chin ups on that thing.

Maybe your walls are a different composition. I have soft plasterboard which is perhaps why the mountings look "industrial". I'm afraid anything I tried would just pull out of the wall when it got any weight on it.

I have dry wall too.
I took a piece of 1" x 4" pine board cut to the width of the wall on the sides, located the stud behind the drywall & drilled the board into the stud. Once the board was secured that way, you can put the wall sockets into them & they won't go anywhere. Same thing putting up the bracket.
If you like, I can taje a picture of my SIL closet & send you a picture as an example.
The racks you have now have to be screwed into studs or they would have ripped out.

Ohhhhh.....
That picture makes the rods look like part of an actual assembly, not just a "got used cause I had em".
Now I wonder if there's actually a special hanger you should be using, something that slips inside the track.
Googled track style closet rods and I was correct, there is a rod that the hanger rides inside of the track. I tried to copy and share it here but can't so you need to look it up yourself.

I can't find anything like that on local stores around here.

Not written as a problem just an observance by Deb. When asked in post 3 about difficulty sliding, Deb replied.
Quote
"No, hangers only touch on two points and are difficult to slide."
My wife would have a problem of not being able to slide clothes easily since she has a lot of clothes.
From the picture that doesn't seem to be a problem for Deb.
This post #46 & the others a good indication of how a simple statement like "Square Hanging Rods in Closet" can turn into a variety of responses. Can't beat Deb for generating threads that turn into interesting reading.
Google Rockler ceiling track system or room curtain track dividers, both resemble your rod.
