Is anyone familiar with this film stock?

A few months back I ordered a bunch of USSR-manufactured film. I developed this roll today (I believe it came out of a box marked as Svema FN250) and saw that it was marked as "10 Svema MZ 85G" - I'd think that the film signing and box would match up, but perhaps not? I know there's some Svema MZ-3 stock floating around, but I've never heard of this. Could "85G" mean 85 GOST?

Be aware that Astrum uses the brand "Svema" and can market anything under this brand.
Though at first sight it looks like old stock as you say.

Svema in the Russian alphabet looks like CEBMA. Soviets did use KS perfs for both still and Movie film.

Cine Print film has KS perforations.
However the film in question is too fast for print film as the OP exposed it as being 250 ASA.
