I have found a number of good refs, usually available every now and again on ebay, East View, or other USSR collector dealers.
1. an excellent reference (in Russian) Voennaya Odezhda Vooruzhennikh Sil SSSR & Rossii: 1917-1990.
2. Some good english language intel references:
a. UK/Canada MoD, Uniforms and Insignia of the Soviet Army and Para-Military FOrces. Covers the 1955 uniform regs. It is a small blue covered spiral bound book. Great reference for all the different epaulet color combinations.
b. UK MoD, Soviet Army Unforms 1961. An ok reference, but I prefer the 1955 version (above).
