I'm not sure where you have been looking, but that part was always the "extractor", which is part of the "ejector system".
The guns were Hand Ejectors, but that part was the extractor. It was the extractor in Top Breaks, and it was the extractor in Hand Ejectors.

When you are right, you are right (and you are 100% right!). They were producing "Hand Ejector" revolvers in 1940... but all of the parts that made up the "Hand Ejector" system were actually called "Extractor" parts. My bad for not recognizing that distinction in terminology. Thank you for pointing that out.
