Default Traps: 38mm vs 76mm

Are there any situations where it's acceptable to use a bottle trap
with a 38mm seal on a kitchen sink or do Building Regs always require
a 76mm seal?

Also, what's a "half trap"?

Isn't it either a trap or just a bit of pipe?

Who says you have to use a 76mm? - there's no BCO going to look under your
sink

A half trap is just like what's in the picture - you can see that where the
trap comes back up, the pipe stops and you need to manually attach a bend to
make an entire trap.
