No problem. It's hard to talk about these because, rebated or not, the grip frame still has a rounded shape. It's the stocks that justify the square butt designation on the Regulation Police revolvers, not the frame (as is the case in the medium and large-frame guns until recent decades).
Just to make this more amusing, after the war small frame guns were built on round butt and square butt frames -- but despite the nominal distinction, to the eye they look like round butt and slightly less round butt frames.
