actually that was the H and the K.
they both featured a slightly more powerfull engine than the G an J
R-2600-39 instead of the earlier R-2600-23
1,500 hp or 1,700 for take-off (as opposed to 1,350/1,600 for the -23)
the A-20G were in production from Feb 43 to Jun 44
as to when thay actually started service with the VVS ....a bit more complicated.
you would need regimental records or ones from the ZAP's
(Ferry Regiments)

to yogybar ;
I don't think it is fair to group these aircraft together that way.
the Soviets recieved more 'G' models than any other so to simplify matters you could probably just list the G and leave the others out for now.
(to be added at a later date ???)
