This one was described as a 44 centerfire conversion...might have been some error there but if it was a centerfire it isnt covered by the FRT. As you said the calibers were .38 and .46 rimfire...
 
Was probably a gunsmith conversion.
The wording of the regulation specifically uses the phrase "fed from a cartridge magazine", and a revolver's cylinder is certainly not a magazine. Cartridges are not "fed" from a cylinder. Drum magazines, for example, are actual "magazines" and would meet the definition in the regulation.
