I believe the only real distinction is the concentric circle and the fact that the serials do not run all the way to 99,999. according to the link, concentric circle rifles were marked either on the barrel or underneath the receiver with the japanese symbol for 2(2 parallel lines) inside a circle to indicate second class weapons, or weapons not meant for the imperial military. other than that there are likely no real discernible markings from other type 38s. if you can, post some detailed pictures of the markings and I can make comparisons with my T99 and T44 and see if they are consistent.
I'm no expert though, that link is about the sum of any info I can give you.
