The SU-85M was the late war succesor of the SU-85. It had the same roof details and a similar mantlet to, the SU-100.
Both SU-85M and SU-100 were used during WWII.
See here for a pic of one:

Here's a link to a close up of the gun shield. The debris shield is missing.

If the Dragon mantlet is a post war version I wouldn't know.
Modelpoint makes a very nice resin mantlet and metal barrel combo for the SU-85M (Dragon kit). Modelpoint No 3534-3.
(Btw, Mig makes a usefull dry transfer set with one set of SU-85M markings.)
Hope this helps.
best regards,
