629-3 three inch?

[swage]

I'm a big fan of the three inch big bore S&W revolvers. I have a 29-3, 29-4, 629-1, 629-2E, 629-4 Backpacker, and a Lew Horton exclusive 629-5. I'm trying to find a 629-3 and can't seem to find an example of one other than the Carry Comp. My question to those with more knowledge than myself is: Did they make a 629-3 other than the Carry Comp? My Google Fu is admittedly weak.

I know they made a 629-2 (no "E") 3" as there is one for sale on GB, but as for a 629-3 3", I have never seen one.

I have a -2E and I've seen the -2. They're cosmetically the same and both share the longer cylinder notches that was part of the endurance package. The -3 three inch examples I've seen are all Carry Comps. I was hoping someone may have an example of one that wasn't a Carry Comp. I tried finding the S&W collectors guide that lists all the models and product codes but couldn't locate one.
