ZIL-157 was made from October 1958-1961 and ZIL-157K was made 1961-1964?. The difference in those vehicles, in addition to ZIL-157K being slightly shorter is that they have different gear ratios (corresponding to the changes of ZIL-164 to ZIL-164A). ZIL-157KV is a tractor model.
ATZ-3-157 was manufactured by "Krasniy Molot" ["Red Hammer"] factory. The cistern was one-sectional and had elliptical form. It has a volume of 3,500 liters and if 4 hoses were used the velocity of fuel flow [emptying] would be 240-300 liters/minute. Pump [SVN-80] was powered from the gear box and could pump up to 500 liters/minute.
ACM-4-157 was manufactured by "Kotlotopstroy" factory. The cistern was one-sectional and had elliptical form. It has a volume of 4,000 liters and if two hoses were used the velocity of fuel flow [emptying] would be 120-160 liters/minute. The pump [SCL, centripetal-blade] was powered from the gear box and could pump up to 400 literes/minute.
* This ZIL-157 is a launcher of 240mm BM-24. One rocket has a mass of 112.5 kg, length 1180 mm, calibre 240 mm, launcher elevation is from 0-45 degrees and traverse is 0-105 degrees in both directions. Reload time is 3-4 minutes, maximum range is 11 km. The BM-24 launchers in this photo are being paraded in israel after being captured from the arabs in 1973 war.
** This ZIL-157 is SA-3 Goa launcher. SA-3 Goa has a length of 6.7 m, diameter 700 mm, launch mass 400 kg and range of up to 29 km. These missiles are carried in pairs on the inclined ramps which also serve as launchers.
ZIL-157 (6 X 6) which looks similar to 
ZIL-164
(4 X 2) [note that both have vertical grills] succeeded ZIS-151 (6 X 6)
which in turn looks similar to its own (4 X 2) counterpart ZIS-150 [note
that both have horizontal grills].
