The "I" frame designation refers to the first line of solid frame hand ejectors that started in 1896. They initially were chambered in .32 S&W Long, then .22 (the 22/32 Kit Gun) and then .38 S&W (the Regulation Police).
The revolver in your picture is a 38 Safety Hammerless (aka "New Departure", aka "Lemon Squeezer"). It is built on the top break "No. 2" frame. The Safety Hammerless grips will fit 38 DA's as they are No. 2 frames as well.
