Obviously it's not true because photos and footage of soviet life shows them wearing the same shit as any other country at the time, but the lie had to come from somewhere, right?

The overalls look like prison uniforms so I'd imagine litter anti soviet dystopia propaganda with some overalls to make the people in it look like prisoners. That way anyone consuming that content will correlate communism with being in prison and the dehumanising effects of incarceration. I guess?
When you say grey overalls i immediately think of the 1984 movie. And since 1984 was incredibly pervasive anti communist propaganda it might just come from that.
