Question Revolver ID?

I've had the following photo for a while and I have not been able to positively ID the type of revolver? The photo is not particularly clear but I am hoping someone here more familiar with the details of hand guns will know what they are looking at?? The men in the photo are Canadian tank men (notation on the back says, "...cleaning web at gun point!")

Enfield, S&W, Webley, other...???

Default S&w

Definitely a Smith & Wesson, most likely a .38, but it looks to have a 6" barrel vs the 'standard' Model 10 5"... intriguing for sure. Mind you, early in the war the U.S. shipped boatloads of the bloody things to Britain (they didn't want them), so who knows.

Default Colt

Looks more Colt than anything..
May be single action even..
Not S&W..Definately not Webly ..Look at the frame where the pistol grip meets the cylinder and the front sight and the extractor rod...all Colt..

Naw, I'm pretty sure it's a Smith, Alex... probably a New Century model (which I used to own), albeit it looks too small to be a .455...
