They have color coded Russian resistors, probably just for smaller sizes. Diodes have a variety of shapes, but I don't remember seeing rectangular packages like that one either. Some of those component might have also been specially sourced high tolerance components that might be different than what you'd find in consumer electronics?

Oh very interesting. I have been wondering about what those logos meant when I used to play with electronics back in the day. They even have a link to the full list http://madelectronics.ru/book/prominfo/2009-04-16-08-29-39-318.htm http://madelectronics.ru/book/prominfo/2009-04-16-08-29-39-3....
