Never say impossible, but the .38 S&W cartridge was never in U.S. service, and no S&W's made for the U.S. were chambered for that cartrige. It has been a while since I have seen that manual, but I don't recall any mention of .38 S&W, only of .38 Special.
Did someone, somewhere, in DoD have some .38 S&W caliber guns? Wouldn't be too surprised but they would have had to buy the ammo on their own.
I agree that that 130 grain FMJ ball was pretty worthless. But of course it had to be issued to conform to the Hague convention.
