Soultrain13, both of your revolvers are what are known as British Service Revolvers (BSRs), made mainly for, you guessed it, the British, and some other commonwealth nations such as Canada and Australia.

V767077 was likely shipped in 1945, V233280 a few years earlier. The remains of the markings on the later that were left after refinishing were most likely the proof marks put on surplussed revolvers by the British government before they could be sold on the civilian market. Before reading this thread I had no idea that there was a metric ton of these "chopped & bored" surplus BSRs out there, and it seems the majority of them were plated and had plastic bone style stocks installed. The work was done after re-importation to try and make them more attractive for sale. Most experts say that it should be ok to shoot these with lower pressure .38 Specials, even if they split the cases, but personally I wouldn't want to shoot one even with .38 S&W cartridges due to the missing front extractor rod lock up. They have no value to a collector, just whatever someone would be willing to pay for a cheap shooter, say $200 range.

There should be the same added proof marks on V767077, if it had been in British hands and released through normal channels. Maybe this one was never entered into British service, or perhaps it sorta followed somebody home outside of official channels.
