When did the Vostok factory use cases like this?

The green paratrooper model looks correct, that bezel usually goes with that case style.
I also do not see anything glaringly wrong with the other 2. The Anti-Magnetic models often do have the bezel with a lume dot as they use the same cases as Amphibias.
I have also seen that plain bezel used before.
OK, to correct myself. The first one is fine. The second one is fine (although I am not sure about the two oclock hand), and the last one is ok too.

The only potential thing abnormal in #2 (green paratrooper) is the crown is different than the usual Vostok with 2-o'clock crown position. Replacing a crown is a pretty common repair for any brand of watch, and the crown looks like an authentic wobbly-type used on other Vostoks. In a cheap watch, that really should not make any difference in value.
Vostok was even known in the years just following the fall of communism to just put watches together from parts that fit together right.
I think they are awesome,. No frankens here (I really don't know that much)
I have a post or two on the first one, (see next post) and the original owner of the second one has a few posts here. Will PM soon!
