"There is no such thing as a "last ditch" Type 38, since the Type 38 was out of production long before the end of WWII."

Sort of.

Type 38 production ended in home island arsenals in the early 1940s, but continued at Mukden (now Shenyang) until late 1944 or early 1945, concurrent with Type 99 production.
