No. The .32 Smith & Wesson (never officially called the .32 S&W Short, but it's a fairly common nickname because of the .32 S&W Long) has a larger case diameter and should not chamber in guns chambered for the .32 Short or Long Colt.
Correct; the lengthened version of the .32 S&W "Short" cartridge was the .32 S&W Long, which was rechristened .32 Colt New Police so Colt wouldn't have to put their rival's name on their guns. None of these cartridges should chamber in a .32 Long Colt gun.
