All that I have in the database is the nomenclature and a note that it was 
(surprise!) painted gray.  Possibly I got the nomenclature from someone who had 
one and sent me a photo to ID.  Entry also says it crosses to RBS-3 which I 
don't have any paper on.

R-336/GRC-26.  And Hue, I'll have to look up what was different in the R-336 
from its source BC-342.  What I was think of is OA-65/MRC-2 which is a pair of 
modified (master/slave) BC-342's.
