  Displaying "AM" after the T+ time?

  
  T- time for now, but hopefully T+ later, and yes.
  
  They've got rid of it, I think.

  8K82KM Proton-M/Briz-M with AMC-14 at PU-39

  
  Where did you get that image?
  
  And it's Proton-M, not KM. Proton-KM retired years ago.

  
  Are you sure about his designation?
  
  The image is from a Khrunichev transmission...

  
  KM was the designation for a Proton-K with a Briz-M upper stage. I think.
  
  Spot the mistake with the countdown clock.

  
  No. The 8K8KM is the Proton-M.
