The SCSW states all of both types were exported. No photos in the book.
This is a guess, but there were other exported centerfire S & Ws of various types labeled as a "Hunter" or "Target" gun that were very similar to the standard US version. Apparently the reason behind the names is these are acceptable uses for handguns in Europe, but civilian self-defense is not. Our European friends can correct me on this if it is not true.
