What’s a .38 auto? Do you mean .380 ACP?

I had the same question, and I thought the same thing.

You can't really tell from the available information.

Probably not .380ACP

.38 ACP introduced c.1900 more powerful than the later .380, but overshadowed by the 9mm Parabellum and .45ACP: which were both more powerful

.38 Super c.1927 More powerful development, but not significantly enough to replace the now well established 9mm Para or .45.
