It's all one and the same. Ruger called the Old Army a .44 for many years, although it is actually a .45. Later on they changed the nomenclature and began calling it a .45.

The gun uses .457" round balls, and has a .452" groove diameter barrel; it's a .45, trust me.

I think the buyer of the parts didn't want the cylinder but had to take it to get the rest. May wanna research and see if you can contact the buyer and get the cylinder.
