Yes, after a Progress launch. But this is not L2 stuff, since this picture is available on the net... (first published on buran.ru)

I've found the article, written by one of the guys that were on the "rescue" team :

It was Progress-40 flight.

Last year, I've contacted this guy, but he has no more pictures to share...  :-(

I had posted the same picture in the Buran Thread, with some info and a few questions about the flight tests on Progress launches: http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=636.msg1000684#msg1000684

Anybody have some info to shed some light and maybe answer the questions?

Here is another picture showing a Strizh suit after a flight test:


It is from this website: http://podelise.ru/docs/index-24935468-1.html?page=5 which is a Russian language version of some chapters from this book: http://www.amazon.com/Russian-Spacesuits-Springer-Praxis-Exploration/dp/185233732X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1385066760&sr=8-1&keywords=russian+spacesuits

Why the suits were brown?
