The Red Army did receive the bazooka under Lend Lease. In fact the Ordnance office G.B. Jarrett claimed that German captures of early batches sent the Russians in 1942 was the origin of the German panzerschreck.I'm not sure how many were sent, but the number was relatively small as they only were sent 8,500 rounds of rockets. I've never seen a photo of one in Red Army service.

and that's why they are in there

If the number of 8,500 rockets total is correct, the availability probably should not be two full years... More like 6 months would seem more realistic and still not overly conservative.
