I think that this somewhat inexplicable absence of caliber markings may be tied to the development of the .38 Special cartridge. Considering that the lack of caliber markings is extremely unusual at this point in Smith and Wesson production and cannot be attributed to something as trivial as a broken die or poor quality control.
