Ian Skennerton did write a hardback book with Mark Stamps on the Enfield .38-200 Revolvers. I believe that it was originally published in 1993 or so which is about when I bought mine. It gives a pretty good treatment of this series of revolvers. I don't know if it is still in print or not but is likely available on the secondary market.

The spurless one lasted until the end of production. The proof date on top of the bbl identifies the approx date of manufacture - unless it's been replaced.
I doubt there was much new production after 1945. Apparently some 6000 were produced for Pakistan in 1956/7. Some figures I found in the Public Records Office

Post war production was all Mk1*.
The 'tanker' myth came about because when the tank corps were asked whether the deletion of the hammer spur would unduly affect their use in tanks or during their training, they replied that the hammer spur played no part in their use inside the tanks or in training as the tankies were never taught to use the hammer in any case. It was redundant.
