S&W Revolvers

I have a couple of questions I would appreciate hearing from you on these two items:
First, my recently used purchase S&W revolver is stamped Mod. 66-3. I see Mod 66 at the S&W website but I don't know the significance of the suffix "3"...is it barrel length? Mine is a stainless, 357, I believe 4" barrel, 6-shot, double action, K-Frame revolver.
Secondly, I see the following language on gun barrels, publications, auction lots, etc. Are all/any of these terms essentially the same: "38 S&W", "38 Special", "38", and "38 S&W Special Ctg."?
Thanks for the help. Best, Jim
