Some converted BSR's will have "CAL .38 SPECIAL" stamped into the left frame below the cylinder latch. And conversions done in Britain like those by Cogswell & Harrison or Parker-Hale will show the proof case length as 1.15 (instead of the much more common .767 of the .38-200) stamped on the barrel.
But generally, most conversions and re-workings like refinishing, removing the lanyard loop, etc. appear to have been done (with various levels of expertise and exactitude) after re-importation, and no markings were applied when the caliber was adapted.
