I don't know that anyone alive knows the answer to that question, but it seems quite possible to me. The fact that both were 2" K frame guns could easily lead to that conclusion. The timing could be correct, since the company seems to have stopped making the Aircrewman in about 1957. We know that most of those were destroyed and at least some were fitted with steel cylinders by Air Force armorers. I'm not sure I've ever seen dates associated with the destruction program.
