"Work on it started in August 1943"
Work started at May 1943.
Was built 3 prototypes:
SU-85-I - SU-122 with C-18 gun
SU-85-II - SU-122 with D-5S gun
SU-85-IV - SU-122 with C-18 gun and changed superstructure
After tests SU-85-II go to production under "SU-85" name.

First 100 appeared in september 1943 on the Dneiper. 1943!!!
Production was canceled in July 1944 when production of SU-100 was started.
But! Due luck of 100mm APC ammo, from August 1944 to December 1944 were produced 315 SU-85M (marked as SU-85 1943 on your site).
