I sent the pcitures to Andrey Chepelev and Evgeny Kochnev ( two Ford A experts in Russia) Here is Evgeny's response "Yes, in 20-30s first USSR-assembled cars were the simplest 40 hp Ford A, often with handmade unstandardized stamps on the cylinder block. It could be facsimiles, drawings, or ornaments, similar to the images you shared. After the mass production started, these Fords has got GAZ-A indexes decorated with star emblems on the radiators. Unfortunately, for now, I can't identify the exact emblem you shared. In case I manage to do so in the future, I'll contact you!"
