Yep, the 5031 does appear to be both like a "15" at times while at other times to be like a "tech". Here's a photo of the tech version from your same great source, Achim, mr-razor.
Nice. The Rotbart in the middle is a 5031 by the way.
Here's a Rotbart-style No.15 clone. Does yours have this logo? I haven't been able to find out what it is (your pics from the bottom aren't too clear. So perhaps it is Soviet. Thanks!
Not nearly as smooth as the 15 style head, whatever it is!
I agree, but with a proviso. The Russian stuff I've owned I've both loved and hated. I love it because it's been simple and built to last, like a tank. But the quality seems inconsistent. If you get a good example, you're set. If you get one with some "bugs", or inferior parts built in, you need to replace those inferior parts in order to have your tank. For example, my brand new Lada Niva had rust in the seams of the roof. Why did that occur with a new vehicle? It also had some parts that failed fairly quickly. When these parts were replaced with better ones, the problem was fixed, and the fix was a good reliable one (i.e. - I had a tank again).Russians make stuff that works, they did great job with AK-47. Simple to use, simple to clean, and they got it right.
Like the Everyready Bunny, just keeps working.

Sure. You're saying that Russian razors are not available for sale in the USA. But surely you can buy vintage Russian razors off of Ebay and Etsy and the like, right? That's all I'm doing.So make sense of that? You importing Russian goods?
