You refer to your second revolver as .32 Long. I assume that means .32 S&W Long rather than the obsolete .32 Long Colt. Is it marked ".32 Long?"
Here is the letter on the gun. You'll see that its characterized as
a Special Caliber Variation, not a special order. In the records, there
appears to be 6 or 8, or so, of these special chamberings. They are
in the 43XXX serial number range, which is 1910. There is another
handful made up in 1916 - I think the 61XXX serial number range.
Again, there was less that a dozen - maybe 8 or so.

The barrel has no caliber marking on it.
