"The Soviet diodes have orange rectangular packages" — that's a pretty unusual package for a Soviet diode actually. The large Zener diode would be much more representative, as far as packaging goes. Civilian equivalent for 2Д212 would be КД212. Kinda reminds me of the КТ315 packaging, might be the same kind of plastic.
"chip labels use Λ (Greek L) in place of Л (Cyrillic L)" — actually just a different (more legible) font for Cyrillics. Same with Δ/Д. Try searching "sans serif Cyrillic" in Google images, there will be lots of fonts with Λ- and Δ-like shapes for Л and Д. It's a matter of font style pretty much.
