I found some documents that indicate that the bus transfer and unfired .38 rounds allegedly found on [Lee Harvey] Oswald during a search by Detectives Richard Sims and Elmer Boyd may not have been found on him at all.
The first is an FBI teletype dated 2-3-64 that says that Oswald was "completely searched" by Detective Paul Bentley and "nothing was left in his pockets". It also contains verification of that by Capt. Fritz, who told the FBI that Oswald was "completely searched following his arrest."

Verification that his pockets were emptied in that search comes from the HSCA interview with patrolman C.T. Walker. He told the HSCA that he searched Oswald when Oswald was brought in to Capt. Fritz's office. He told the HSCA interviewer that "I searched him good and found nothing".

Both of these searches of Oswald took place BEFORE he was transferred by Sims and Boyd to the first lineup.
A third document, a report by Patrolman M.G. Hall, says that Hall assisted Sims and Boyd in that transfer, but makes no mention of any search of Oswald, nor does it mention them finding any bus transfer or unfired rounds.

So we have documents indicating that Oswald was searched TWICE before the transfer by Sims and Boyd. The first search resulted in his pockets being completely emptied. The second search verified that fact. The bus transfer and the unfired rounds allegedly found on Oswald were never found on him.
