Thanks Leon and Dupes!
Dupes, as I understand it, it was a special built tank using the KV-85 hull and a new turret to test the D-25T 122mm gun. It was not used in front line service.

Niiiiiice! I don't know anything about this vehicle...did it actually happen? Or was this a prototype thing? As far as I know only one 'official' prototype was built, but a few damaged KV-85s ended being repaired using IS-2 turrets effectively turning them into KV-122s Nice result John! I blame you for me hunting down the Bronco version of the KV-122 on evilbay - won it yesterday for 33€ (including a rather hefty 7€ postage). Still a bargain, considering they usually sell for around 50€ in Gemermany.
