Carcano Model 1891 Vs. Model 1891/41, How to spot differences in them

Next week, I am looking at what is suppose to be a Carcano Model 1891 Rifle that was made in 1918. Can you look at the rifle and verify it is in fact a Model 1891, Let me know a approximate value range and I'd like to know the differences in a Model 1891 and a Model 1891/41. I thought the 1891 Carcano's had Straight Bolts, This one has a Turned Down Bolt is one thing I'm not sure about.
Thank You... as you can tell, I am new to all this.

I found these photos on Youtube of WW1 Carcano Rifles, They show a Turned Down Bolt? I was confused because I see most All Carcano full length rifles with straight bolt handles?

[UNPROFOR1994]

1891: barrel 780mm, sights 600m-1000m
1891/41: barrel 690mm, sights 300m-1000m

I'm by no way an expert on Carcano's but I can read, so I think this should atleast be a part of the anwser.
