Does that mean 38/8S was the car JC used at the Swiss Hillclimb ( http://www.lotuseuropa.org/LotusForum/index.php?topic=1381.0 ) ?

No the Swiss hillclimb car was 38/4 which was actually a rebuild of 38/2 after 38/2 was heavily damaged at Trenton 1965. Swiss hillclimb with Clark was August 1965. Symmetrical suspension was fitted just for the hillclimb. 38/8S was the last 38 chassis built (June 1966). This is all detailed in 'Team Lotus the Indianapolis Years' by Andrew Ferguson.
