I appreciate what you're saying but the devices the Soviets were experimenting with are really quite different to the pontoon vehicles you've shown here. The Soviets had vehicles very similar to the EFA, M2 & M3 bridging ferries you mention such as the

The Soviet hydrofoil tank pontoons (for want of a better name) have no analogue that I can find in Western armies. They weren't simply for crossing from riverbank to riverbank, they were also for transporting individual tanks from coast to coast.
