Soviets are going to get a lot of the stuff parked in East Prussia to keep it out of Allied bomber range, unless the Western Allies do something really weird in Norway and roll south and east from there, regardless of whether General Mark Clark decides to pay the blood-price to take Berlin to give himself and the USA a victory parade through the Brandenberg Gate. Peenemünde is probably sufficiently far east that the Soviets are going to get that too. Even if the Soviets miss out on research held in Berlin, there's a lot going in the east they can and likely will get, with the current points of departure.
And as far as I can see, the Western Allies aren't getting any of Poland, if they rely on the original timeline landings and advances through France. The main part of Germany is in the way, and Hitler will pull troops from the east and let the Soviets have Poland if the Western Allies are lined up on the Rhine. Hitler was more than happy to throw reserves against the Western Allies in an offensive in the Ardennes in December 1944 when the Allies were starting to line up along the Rhine and had nearly taken Arnhem and the bridge there a few months earlier, whilst the Soviets were still sitting halfway back across Poland.
Edit:
Hitler isn't Polish and fighting to ultimately keep the Allies out of Poland. He's German (well, German for certain since the Austrian annexation, anyway) and he's fighting to ultimately keep the Allies out of Germany.

The FV403 is very small and very fast and plays more like a tank destroyer.
