According to my konwledge, object 27776 is 3rd stage of Proton K (ie. stage 8S812), 27777 is launching platform for the 4th stage DM-2M (ie part of interstage structure between the 2rd and 4th stages). 37778 and 37779 are ullage motors for the DM-2M stage (to settle propellants in tanks), 27780 should be the 4th stage. Both objects B and C (27776 and 27777) already decayed. Mgr. Antonin Vitek, CSc.
