The "cutouts" aren't for moon clips. S&W magnums prior to 1982 have chamber recesses in the cylinder to fully enclose the base and rim of the case. They were deleted in models after 1982 because it was deemed an unnecessary feature and was more expensive to produce. However, they remain a desired trait to many collectors, along with the pinned barrels.
