For visual purposes, there would be no difference between the revolver you just purchased and a pre-WWII era snubby. The significant change is internal. The S prefix would be about the only visual clue. The stocks would, of course, also be different.

However, the appearance of a 2" example during the war would be rare. US Victory models had 4" barrels and those made for the Brits for the most part had 5" barrels.
