Go to post # 62 in this thread:
Types of Smith & Wesson Revolver Grips
and look at the third picture of an RP.

That's right, the one pictured is from the 1920s and the same design as the early post WW II design. That rebated round butt grip frame with sq butt stocks existed after the war up until the Model 1953 versions were introduced with a true square butt grip frame.
From its # I'm sure the OP's .32 has the Model 1953 grip frame.
