I think SBPC stands for Square Butt, Plain Clothes. These were square butt magnas that were rounded on the bottom (ie. to the sides) so they didn't "print" as much in plain clothes carry. By the late '70s I think most all K-frame fixed sight magna grips were this style. Pic of SBPC grips on the left and regular square butts on the right.
