Well mate, you're very very close, just one out in both year and designation,
the RG-6 was '57 and this one was '58 and as you say, we have had the RG-6.
Incidentally, I have it down as CIL (Novitchi), who was in fact the designer and where I found the RG-8 on Mel's list, the RG-6 is under IFIL Reghin (twice), but not this one (fingers crossed)
