PE-8 British connection?

Did the Russian PE-8 use any parts copied or borrowed from any of the British Heavies, Manchester perhaps? in its main landing gear or the like? Seeing some video on the aircraft it seemed the landing gear was simply scaled up DC-3 or Lancaster type legs. Did any sale of parts or technology benefit their heavy program in the 1930's?
What does everyone know about the PE-8 and its somewhat obscure origins...
