I see my question had no responses,so presumably there is little interest in these kits, but for the benefit of posterity I will record that I just received a Borodino kit and found it contains a small sprue of alternate funnels, spars and small details which is embossed:
KN. SUVOROV
ALEXANDER III (with the "D" reversed)
The kit only contains a name decal sheet for Borodino (in Russian), but I am hopeful that the Suvorov kit contains decals for both Suvorov and Alexander III.

Hi, of the four ships of this class lost at Tsushima, Zvezda boxed this kit as Borodino, Oriol, and Suvorov, but not as Aleksandr III. They are the same kit, with a few alternate parts for the different ships. I am wondering why Zvezda did not also issue it as Aleksandr III, i.e. did that ship have some major difference which meant the basic kit cannot be used for it? Sorry if asked and answered previously!
Thanks,
Bill.
