The North Korean OOB would indeed need a good cleanup, I might post some suggestions for change in the next future even if the lack of reliable info is even worse than in the iraqi case.
In regars to the above mentioned tanks I would rule out any
T-80U ever being fielded. South Korea got some them as debt repayment but not NK.
There are rumors that NK may have obtained limited numbers of russian tanks in the 90's but these would have been T-72s or at most earlier T-80s. Certainly not the pricey, rare and limited issue T-80U.
