The turned down bolt really has nothing to do with cavalry issue. The first M38's were converted M96's and still retain the original straight bolt handle. All Husqvarna purpose built M38's have a turned down bolt.
Rather than cut and paste, here's a good explanation of the stock disk
Stock Discs for 1894 & 1896 Swedish Mausers
I've know buyers that put a lot of faith in what the disk reads, but I never really did. While the disk may have been correct at inspection, who knows how many rounds have been shot thorough the gun since then or what abuse it's taken. I've also know people to put disks from one rifle on the stock of another rifle.
