if you compare the fabrics they are two different fabrics. Eisenstein filmed on location at the Winter Palace and several Moscow locations, but the "Cadet" scenes from the movie were filmed in studio. The stage sets were made of wood frames with canvas "walls" to facilitate moving and storage of the sets. This film, "October" or "Ten Days that Shook the World" as it was titled in English distribution is a very famous film at film schools. Eisenstein claimed to have invented the "montage" or rapidly sequenced shots that move the action at a faster pace than was available at the time when the use of one stationary camera was the only available means of shooting. Much of the film, in my opinion, owes its direction to D.W. Griffith's "Birth of A Nation" which also was one of the first full length films to use location and montage editing. In watching both films, you can see the various editing "flubs" which resulted in walls moving or "ghosting" of sets, camera shadows visible and other mistakes made in filming. Of course, I could have not remembered this correctly, it's been quite some time since I've read about this.
p.s. One of the jokes made at the time of the filming was that more people were injured when Eisenstein stormed the Winter Palace than when the revolutionaries did.
p.s.s. Replicating sets would not have been difficult because there was ample documentation of the private rooms available to Eisenstein, who was afforded a relatively huge budget for this film at the time.
