AM-38?

Not the AM-35?
What is behind that decision?

Prabably because there must not be many AM-35s lying around. Remember, AM-38 powered the Il-2, plane made in huge numbers (36000+). The AM-35 on the other hand was mainly used in MiG-3s (3100 made) and early Pe-8s (very few made), and most likely very few survived the war.
