It's a Dembel item....
The photo shows a soldier with the uniform worn at the time of the departure from East-Berlin in 1994.
Hence the mix of soviet & russian items.
The branch on the collar tabs are specific to this unit and are crossed rifles...I 'll post some pics of my jacket later on...

I would guess that they simply took photos of actual, representative soldiers from both American and Russian armies at some point after reunification, and that was the how the uniforms looked at the time.
