The trouble is that there is no evidence that the weapons developed and used by the Germans in secret inside Russia were produced by Russian firms with Russian data plates.

The only way I can surmise that Soviet built equipment was in France in 1940 was that it was something captured by the Germans during the Spanish Civil War or some of the equipment the Spanish Republicans moved over the border such as the Spanish built BA-6 type armoured cars that the Germans later discovered in France in 1940, which they later used on the Eastern Front.

Soviet equipment acquired when the Russians and Nazis divided up Poland in 1939 is also another possibility.

Armies have a habit of keeping useful equipment and the Germans were well known for using 'beute'. However I doubt the Luftwaffe would have used any Soviet built aircraft in front line fighting in 1940. This suggests to me that the bits are from a vehicle not an aircraft.

The data plate in the photo is hard to read. One bit reads as IL-67 and another P-107. A Unic P-107 was a French halftrack.
