The M38s made new by Husvarna had a turned-down bolt handle (Type 5) that was manufactured in this form. If you see an M96/38 with a turned-down bolt handle, check it over. It will either be an after-service alteration (i.e. not original) or the bolt has been replaced by an M38 bolt (so also not original to that rifle).
A Carl Gustaf m/38 with a bent bolt is correct. It was not unusual to have bolts replaced and there is no distinction between the straight and bent bolt body for the m/38 conversions so they may be found with matching number bent bolt bodies.



So in order that the bolt handle might clear the scope, the M96 bolt handle was cut through, an extra segment was inserted (to provide the "corner") and the assembly was rewelded. This is known as the Type 6 body.
I can guess where this information comes from but it is incorrect. There was no such sectioning and welding on the m/41 bolt handle. It is a m/96 bolt that had the handle curved purposely.
In Swedishicon military spare parts inventory there are no "type" anything. That's an invention of the book where this came from.

Patrick -- that book you have has been the source of more bad info that you can imagine. Toss it out in the street and watch trucks run it over. Then go buy Crown Jewels: The Mauser in Sweden by Dana Jones.
