Ah! Interesting. I thought that it might be useful against searchlights (it certainly is in the sim).
Do you know anything about the RS-82 equipped Li-2 field mod? I wasn't able to find any photos of that field mod. The same goes for the NS-45 equipped version.
I discussed it with Borovik here and he didn't seem to know of any surviving photos either:
