Shawn,
I have found many references to those uniforms on the Russian Internet, but nothing specific. Many veterans seem to remember those quality uniforms from the US and Canada. Apparently leather flight jackets were also supplied to the SU, as well as coveralls for Airforce and Armor personnel. One tanker remembers that his new US made tank had a complete set of coveralls inside. I am not going to repeat here his words about the tank :), but the coverall was good. I also found somewhere that the US had supplied to the Soviet Union 15 mil pairs of boots.
