Russia: Souvenir Sheets : ID

I have about 40 from the big red bus,
I need Stanley Gibbons numbers please
Can I keep someone busy please?

I'll post a few at a time

(SG simplified do not list ss)

Great sheets Rod ! Haven't I seen them somewhere before

No matter, I have no SG numbers either so am of little use on that score.

Glad they arrived OK.

Londonbus1.....I thought there was nearer 50 !?

Thanks 22blackbirds,
up to your usual standard of excellence, chapeau!

Londonbus:
you must have missed my other post, your
selection arrived with cover looking like it
had been dipped in sump oil.
Fortunately, your skill and diligence in packaging
kept all the sheets in pristine order.

Yes maybe 50, have not counted as yet.

Are these large enough to identify Jill?

Thank you very much 22 crows,
they were extremely difficult,
unable to even guess where they lay,
not part of sets.

Can I have you check the first one please?

I think you are in error,
these appear to be medal winners?...Thanks
