The majority of field telephones supplied to the Red Army from the USA have been purchased by Amtorg Trading, a New York corporation with 100-percent USSR capital.

US Signal Corps EE-8-A and EE-8-B field telephones were modified to accommodate a pair of 2C (2S) dry batteries of USSR manufacture. The leather bags of EE-8 telephones supplied to the Red Army were about 1 1/2" wider than regular EE-8 bags (WHD = 230 х 250 х 90 mm)

It was probably due to this leather bag extension why no model identification could be found neither on EE-8-A nor on EE-8-B telephones supplied to the Red Army on Amtorg orders.
