If you really have the shorter .38 S&W ammo in that box, someone has replaced the original contents. Judging from the way the cartridges fit the box, I think they are probably .38 Specials.

The .38 S&W is also called the .380 Rim and .38 S&W Corto.
I have REM UMC .38 S&W cartridges NOT .38 spc or .38 special rounds....38 S&W came from a former State Trooper who used a .357 also. Short fat lead ball 158 grain I think, or less.. I'll check. My guess is you may be able to shoot it in a .357.? Wrong box.
