Did we ever find out if the Russians differentiated between the Backfire-B and -C with their own designations?

Not sure what you mean by their own designations, but the two aircraft were known as the Tu-22M2 and Tu-22M3. The Tupolev in-house designations were Izdelye 45-02 and 45-03.

M2 & M3 are what I was looking for. Thanks!
