No, not all T-34's had bedspring armor. Bedspring armor was attached in the field mainly to those T-34/85's participating in the Battle for Berlin, however not all T-34/85's in Berlin had bedspring armor. Clear as mud? So you would be correct either way I believe. You also might be interested in knowing that a white stripe was painted on the T-34's and other Soviet tanks that took place in the assault on Berlin. As always check your references.
