This is not correct as these names are model names, like "Camaro" or "Corolla", and they were first used after the M72 ended production in Russia. The correct name is simply M72. If needed use the prefix IMZ for Irbit produced models and KMZ for Kiev produced models. so IMZ or KMZ as producers -- Last edit: 2019-03-10 19:22:53

The 3 factories' production is virtually indistinguishable save for serial numbers, legend has it that early production examples still had BMW logos in the castings.
