Hi,
The use of pencil tubes in little plug in modules was a fairly common
approach in the late 40's an 50's. There are several commercial FM
portable radios from that era made this way.
The Iron Curtain always was a lot more transparent to ideas than we
like to think it was. I suspect that even if the US and Russian
engineers didn't talk directly to each other they both talked to
somebody who talked to somebody else.
Take Care!
