Mosin Nagant Identification

[hj0922]

I know, ya'll get these all the time, so here's one more for you. I'm trying to settle an argument between my son and I (he's 14 and knows his stuff on guns), and to identify this rifle for it's owner. I'm saying it's a 1943 M91/59 manufactured at Tula. My son says it's a 1943 M38 Carbine, manufactured at Tula. Pics aren't the greatest, but hopefully they can help some.
Also, the owner basically paid $100 for the gun. He has that much work into a lawnmower, and the customer didn't have the cash to pay him, so he traded out the rifle instead. So with that said, my buddy is wondering what it's worth, approximately.

Thanks
