The brief description of photos IS-2.

Tracks post-war type, characteristic for IS-3. Skating rolls post-war, early looked precisely also, only on a cover bearing jacks was instead of ten only five bolts. The order N235 from April, 15, 1944 has ratified the plan of works on improvement IS-122 in connection with which it was expected also installation additional bottom handle on a tower (by the given machine are available), installation of a fodder arm of gun fastening in a marching way (on back top inclined reserved plate have remained units of fastening of the last) and inclusion in fuel system of additional tanks. The machine has the case with straightened cast frontpart which have begun to let out since June, 1, 1944, but the case of the given machine is made most likely on UZTM about what speaks made hatch on the left board. Additional stacking spare tracks realized since July, 15, 1944. Machine guns DShK began to establish on tanks IS since November 1944, and since January, 1945 of them began to mount by all machines. As by the given machine traces of installation and removal DShK are absent, it is possible to assume, that the machine have let out since June till December, 1944. In September, 1944 spare tools box on tank truck schelf was established, by the given machine is absent in connection with modernization. Lifting rings on backtop inclined reserved plate were cut off (during modernization?) and were rearranged closer to the centre, it is probably connected to installation of arms under the big smoke candle .
