Initially both versions were produced simultaneously but by 1955 the 6" wide rib Masterpiece had totally supplanted the 6" tapered barrel version.

After 1955 the 4" CM and 6" Masterpiece had a frame design that did not interchange because of the barrel profile where it meets the frame.

During the dash 5 revision the Model 14 and 15 frames finally shared the same frame but again had different style barrels.
This is correct. If you go back to my post #6, the point I was making is that the OP's frame came on a Heavy Barrel model and since the CM did not have heavy barrels at this time, the frame could not be a CM frame, it had to have been a K-38 frame.
