No “may be”. The round stamping is definitely Austrian police.
And the square butt wasn’t just more prevalent; there were no round-butt versions produced of that particular variant issued to the Austrians.
Keep in mind that round vs. square butt depends on the side view; if your uncle looks at it from the bottom, they‘re both oval/rounded
