by mid-1976 (or 1978) that final configuration (305-2 - right)) was approved, succeeding OK-92 (center), so if the model is of OS-120 (left), the configuration is out of date by 3 years. it could also just be based on the Space Shuttle shape, which by that time already had the short OMS pods

ok sorry for the chaos, there might be something to this model after all. it does seem to be the same model as in this photo of Pilyugin and Lozino-Lozinskiy dated 1978
