Apart from the K7 and the Ekranoplan the west had something similar to
most of the rest.

Verifiable photographs of the K-7 show a much smaller aircraft, with six
tractor engines and one pusher engine, as in the Wikipedia entry.

The Tupolev ANT-20 Maxim Gorki was larger:

The Latécoère 521 was a French attempt to build an aircraft in the 50m
wingspan range:

While Germany built the Do X:

A more modest 30m wingspan, but marvellously weird, was the Caproni Ca 60:
