ID this Russian drafting typeface

This is the typical engineering lettering seen on Russian drawings. Any idea whether this has been turned into a font, and if so, what is it? This is a bit grainy, so will look for a picture with better resolution and repost if I can. Thanks in advance.

For a second I thought I saw my name in there :-)

I can't really tell from this resolution, but could this be a Cyrillic version of one of the condensed widths of Univers Oblique?

- Lex

Univers oblique is pretty close. I found one even closer (right on the money actually), ISOCPEur Italic, which is packaged with Autocad and has the cyrillic characters.

Thanks!

Here's yet another example for the record, probably handlettered:

Leroy lettering.
