One small note - 4K85 is not an old designation, but the GRAU index designation. It is still used and it encompasses anything from AK rifles, artillery guns to missiles and small arms ammunition - if you see a digit followed by a letter followed by digits and sometimes other letters, you're looking at a GRAU designation. P-120 would be the name given to it. For example, AKM is 6P1, 7N39 is the recent 5.45x39mm armour-piercing cartridge and the Msta self-propelled howitzer is 2S19.
Basically, it's interchangeable with other names and is still used. The Wikipedia article gives a good idea of what these indices look like:
