Geoff:
First, welcome to the Forum. You will like it here.
Second, thanks for posting the number of your USNCPC example. Sounds like a very nice piece. It likely shipped in the March, 1941 time frame. Does it have the checkered walnut service stocks with the S&W medallions?
On your V619862 can you tell me if it is a 4 inch, .38 Special? Any markings on the left top strap or butt besides the serial? Your guess on the ship date is pretty good. I would estimate shipping in the June-July, 1944 time frame.
HTH.
