The turrets most likely bear the name of the senders of these tanks or someway else inspired by the 'Komsomolietz of Khabarovsk'
Komsomol (All-Union Leninist Young Communist League, b.1918) was a youth organization controlled by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.The name comes from the first syllables of three Russian words meaning Communist Union of Youth.) Komsomoletz- member of this organizantion, basically all soviet people age 14-28. Khabarovsk- russian city in Siberia, that was not under germans during the war- one of the industrial hubs. By the feel of this picture it should be T34 indeed, the pic does not look like being taken in 1980... way earlier like, WWII.
