You're cartridges are called the 38/40 and the 44/40 and were used in both pistols and rifles.

The .38 WCF fires an 180 gr, .401 bullet at 1,160 fps and 538 ft/lbs.  The .40 S&W uses the same diameter bullet.at about the same loading.

The .44 WCF (.44 Largo) fires a 200 gr, .427 bullet at 1,245 fps and 688 ft/lbs and is the parent cartridge to the above.

Remington, Marlin and Colt all made guns chambered in the .44 Win or .44/40.

There have been discrepancies aplenty--.357 mag/.38 Spec, .22 is actually .223 of .224, to name a few.
