From "Cartridges" by Herschel Logan of Salina, Kansas in 1959 gives a comparision of cartridges from UMC and Winchester catalogues of the 1890s:
25-35 Win. Smokeless by Winchester 25 grains
25-35 Win. Short Range by Winchester 35 grains(doesn't note smokeless)
30 Win. Smokeless Model 1894 by Winchester 30 grains
30 Win. Short Range by Winchester at 6 grains(doesn't note smokeless) but doesn't make sense for now
30 U.S. Army, Short Range 10 grains(doesn't note smokeless)
30 U.S. Army, Smokeless 38 grains
32 Winchester 20 grains(doesn't note smokeless)
32-40 all are 40 grains(doesn't note smokeless)
38-55 are 55 grains with the exception of
"Short Range" which is 20 grains(none are noted as smokeless)
So if anyone has a Winchester catalogue from the 1890s, it might help shed some light.
Kind Regards,
