existence and simultaneous production of these nearly identical tubes.

It's not just the Soviet Union where things like this happen. Look at China.

I once purchased a pair of identical Nerf guns which were sold in the same package, as a gift for my son. One was orange and the other was green.

After a couple weeks, he wanted to modify the guns. Specifically, he wanted to combine green parts and orange parts to make a two-tone gun.

I dutifully helped him disassemble the guns and tried to mate the orange left side with the green right side. However, they wouldn't fit.

It turns out that the company had used two entirely different molds, cut to approximately but not exactly the same shape, to make the two guns that were sold in the same retail package.

Explain that, O masters of mass production!
