I to have a resently bought FED BOY from the Ukranian.  My FED came 
with a book which is in German but lists: batterie SR-44; 1,5V  oder 
CR-44; 1,5V.  It came with a 357A battery and it seems to work well.
I believe the 1.5V batteries are not mecury.

On web site:  www.dedal.cz/optics/operating_manuals/fed-
stereo_manual.htm  ( I hope I got that right) There is a 
caution!  "It is not allowed to use the cell SR44 for the camera "FED-
stereo" and the cell PU53 for the camera "FED-stereo M" since this 
may increase errors of picture taking procedure."  It looks like FED 
changed battery type to get away from mecury batteries.  It means 
that there are different batteries for different FED stereo cameras.  
Yours is probably calibrated for the 357A.
