I have a set of shoulderboards with such metal letters, which I got from a friend in Murmansk. The uniform had been worn by his uncle, who have changed the letters to metal ones when "the end was near" (end of military service). He served in the communications troops. The rest of the story is sad - by some reason his uniform was stripped of insignia (I dont know if he did it himself or if it was any of his relatives who did it after his dead), cut in pieces and used to bring up oil from the garage floor ... :(
Anyway, I got the shoulderboards (with metal letters), collar tabs and arm patch.
