Interesting and odd, but maybe fortuitous. I chambered a 38 Special wadcutter round in the proper end and it also chambers from the front-end LOL. These are not much looser than a regular 38 S&W.
I might try to just partial size some 38 Special and use it for brass and load some round ball or some light .358 bullets I might have laying around. Probably have to fireform so they will fit the chambers snugly and then partial size for a bullet. Below is an image of a 38 Special wadcutter round loaded from the front to show that the cylinder indeed doesn't have a throat.
