iginocoggi: Thanks for helping with this puzzle. It’s difficult to see them well, but there are indeed two cockpits, like in a Bucker 131 Jungmann. In addition to serving as a trainer, this plane was also used in a reconnaisance role until 1945.

No! The aircraft is a two-seater trainer Bu-131. Aircraft insigna post-1941.
