It was mass produced, standardised and issued to assault engineers and some other combat troops. It is only recently with Ceramics that they can get an armor that is effective and light enough to be worn by combat troops in the field. Even the stuff offered in Vietnam was not practical as it was so heavy. So, to clarify what I said earlier, there was no practical body armor in WWII. Besides, that stuff looks like something a Raider or Super Mutant would cobble together. Only a few in the Russian Army used this stuff, and most troops took it off after a short period of time. As stated in the article you linked me to, there was only one version put into production, and it was not practical for the troops to use in most combat scenarios other than urban battles.
