The Green Anvil may have been made out of "Ductile Cast Iron", like pistons in Hydraulic Cylinders, so they deform before they fail, where the "Grey Cast Iron" would crack way before that.... One possibility....

[@prunyanprunyan8139]

I think there are some testing questions. The anvils have the same basic overall shape, but the bridge shape of the soviet anvil's base should have a distinct advantage in resisting top-down pressure, yes? I'm not a physicist, but I believe the arched shape of the soviet anvil's base is a significant advantage.

if the shape had anything to do with it, the FULL BASE should have won the contest over the empty space in an arch.
