It's likely that the Soviet A-20C just used USSR ordinance loadouts, since it doesn't appear that the US supplied bombs via Lend-Lease.

You could also name the Soviet-modified A-20C variant "A-20C USSR Boston" since A-20s in USSR service were called "Bostons" - after the shipment of Boston III bombers sent to the USSR by the British in 1941.

Another idea:

Soviet Lend-Lease A-20G-20-DO - Many A-20G in Soviet service had their Martin turrets replaced by UTK-1 turrets. Just swap turrets and just include Soviet ordinance loadouts.

The other A-20 variant that would be very easy to get into the game would be the A-20H. No modeling is needed, just a tweak to the FM to reflect the slightly more powerful engines.

If you wanted to get a bit fancier:

Soviet Lend-Lease A-20G-1: The Soviets got almost all of the 200 aircraft included in the first A-20G production bloc. Replace 2 .50 caliber nose MG with 20mm M2 cannon (possibly Soviet 20mm cannon). Rework nose slightly to show longer cannon barrels. Substitute the UTK-1 turret for the existing Martin turret. Use Soviet ordinance loadouts.
