Thank you, Meir, Al, John and Dave for your help with this.
Meir: I notice you named it as "RS-P."
A direct translation of the Russian nomenclature,
"УС-П," comes out "US-P," and the BC-348 clone
nomenclature, "УС-9," comes out "US-9."
Therefore, should not the radio be called a "US-P?"
I'm probably missing something.... I usually do ;-).

I've written a little web pages with photos
and a few questions, in case anyone knows more
details about this neat little set:

There's also a Russian page on an earlier version,
as well as others including the BC-348 and
ART-13 clones at:
