Help to ID older Plastic soldiers (1 Viewer)

Found these in a large collection I am going through for a friend. Couldn't find any manufacture name on the bottom. They stand 3" tall and may have been repainted. Thanks for the help and stay well

Off the top of my head, they look like post-WWII Russians, or East Germans, to me. Especially the shape of the helmets, and the firearms, look like they depict East Germans. I wonder if these were made in East Germany? Lineol was located in what became East Germany, and I think they continued production after the war, switching from composition to plastic. I can look in my books to see what I can find.

Prost!

Let me know if you need a close up on anything. Thanks

Eastern European, for sure.
Most likely from the DDR, but I've also seen figures like this from Poland, during the Iron Curtain days.
