Any info would be very much appreciated.

Thanks
It's likely an aftermarket addition and not a factory supplied extra cylinder. As far as I know S&W only fit .22LR cylinders to .22 magnum guns, not vice-versa, due to the .22 magnum bore spec being slightly bigger. That being said it should work fine.
