Lowhog,
The second pic is a .44HE 3rd Model with 5" barrel, humpback hammer, and matching magnas. It letters as .38/44 HD shipped to a police officer in Bozeman, Montana on Aug 20 1940. The letter states that the original invoice could not be found to confirm that it was changed to a .44HE before shipment or that it shipped with the HB hammer. The SWHF doesn't have any additional information either.
