I'm not sure of the others like yours. Look for a "TP" instead of a "ПЛ" for the Brit versions (or so I've been told).
It looks like the 1924 50 Kopek coin is the one minted at the London Mint and designed by Thomas Ross whose initials are on the edge. And not all '24 50 Kopeks were minted in London, some were made by the Leningrad Mint (ПЛ).
