Welcome to the forums from the cotton and peanut covered plains of the Wiregrass! All I can tell you without pictures is your .38 Military & Police hand ejector was made in 1947/48. It likely has the long throw action.
I have one that might have known yours in the factory. A 6", blue 1947 M&P. S/n S944068 that shipped Nov 1947. It came with original grips that someone sanded the checkerboard off of. This month I bought a set of Don Collins walnut stocks for it.
