[GreenKeys] Very unusual Russian Model 14 variant on ebay

Now this is really unusual. It's some kind of Russian knock off of
a Teletype Model 14 tape printer.

It's roughly the same typing mechanism and selector as a Model 14
tape printer, but there are many other differences.
There seems to be a tape reader on the right of the keyboard, and
what looks like a punch on the left. It's not a
reperf; the punched tape parts seem independent of the tape printer.
The keyboard is 4-row, and the typebars seem to have three letters
each, so this is probably a 3-shift machine. It's all Cyrillic, of course.

I've never heard of or seen anything like this.

I have no use for it, and I'm not the seller.
