   DM1, DM3 and DM4 were all based on the 11S861-01 (see images above); the designation was to do with the customer not a change in design. At the start there was a limited number of commercial contracts with each stage built to order: DM1 for INMARSAT-3, DM3 for Astra-1F and DM4 for Tempo-FM1. [source][source]
  
   Garuda was originally fitted to DM3 19L, but that DM3 had a fuel leak and was replaced. [source]

  Venera-9 and 10 also  used 11S824M, with Venera-9 using 11S824M No. 10326501L. Unfortunately I didn't note the original source, will try to dig it up.

   I had seen several sources quoting 2L with Luna-24. Both Energia and Krasmash websites indicated the D-1 first use was in 1975; but reviewing the images no failures. Where did I read that D failed to ignite because… So what you are saying is that Venera-9 went up on a D-1 but not Venera-10? Or Luna-24 did not use a D-1? Already raised questions about the records of these launches to do with the launch site.

  Stan - I'm not sure. Your version makes more sense I think... Just wanted to raise the uncertainty level....
  what are your sources for 2L with Luna-24? (not skeptical, just would like to have them for my own records..)

• It does sound more likely that Luna-24 did not use a D-1

  Sure I did see 2L with Luna-24 but can no longer find any references

  OK, I should have checked the NK table. Seems like a good basis to go with for now pending more definitive sources. Thanks.

• Energyia's official history book (vol. 2, 1996-2001) says 11S824M flew 12 times between 1975 and 1990. Unfortunately, it does not mention the list of the payloads.
• #11 by Stan Black on 09 Aug, 2010 20:52
• So I think Venera-9 and Venera-10 used D-1.
  
  1L has factory serial ending 10326501, but the year digit is missing.
  
  What might have confused things is the ME8 moon probes that were to use 11S824M; Luna in 1975 and 24 in 1976 were E-8-5M.
• #12 by jcm on 10 Aug, 2010 00:25
• I think I agree, Stan. Many years ago, Phil Clark pointed out that the totals in the Glushko Encyclopedia (1985, p 498, Appendix 5) imply masses for the different Blok D stages that went to escape; if you look at these you see that Luna-24's Blok D had a dry mass of 1830 kg while Venera-9/10 averaged 2018 kg. The figures for other missions do seem to show that the 11S824 dry mass was ~1800-1850 kg and the 11S824M was around 2000 kg. On that basis, pending other data, I'm going to adopt D-1 for Venera 9/10 and D for Luna-24; and also D for the 1975 Luna launch failure since our 12 11S824M flights are now accounted for.

  I do not think that mass is a good argument. Because even if your data are true, you have to consider that the quantity of propellant loaded in the upper stages can be variable, depending on the mission they have to achieve.
