The information of what shells for what time was gathered on tankneters. Some of those had been cold warriors. According to them they saw lots of M-774s.

The success of Israeli arms against Syrian T-72s was what prompted the Soviets to upgrade them to T-72A/M standard with increased armor. M883s had teething problems... Gulf War I M933 and M833 were 'fixed' versions. What were the Iranians popping when they were fighting Iraq?

By 1986s M-1A1 with 120mm and improved Chobham was introduced. I expect those to match the T-72 quite well.
