Very little info seems to exist on these weapons. If anyone has any additional info this weapon (or weapons, maybe they are different from each other?) that would be great, such as ammunition types used, rate of fire, etc. Below is the info I've compiled so far,


There seems to be a small handful or aircraft equipped with this weapon:
Tu-2RShR - Tu-2 with x1 Ns-57
Alekseyev I-215 - Early jet with 2x Ns-57 57mm guns
F1 MiG-9 - Prototype MiG-9 with x1 57mm N-57

The gun does not seem related to any of the other Soviet 57mm autocannons designs seen on ground based weapons and naval ships.

Pics I've found so far:
