The pictured control rooms are mostly just control rooms of power plants, not levers for adjusting the Soviet economy. The paper is not really about these control rooms.
Most power plants have control rooms that look pretty much like these; they fulfil the same function.
Yes the 'Soviet' bit just makes these pictures sound more exotic than they are (and it seems they originally had a couple of American ones in there by 'mistake') but the point is, none of this has anything to do with cybersyn-like networked command centers for the command economy. Which is what the linked paper is about.
