IS it the Kh-28 ARM from Russian Weapon slot #216 than needs to go into the Iraqi OOB
Yes or No ?

Yes, the Kh-28 was the ARM of choice

Given there is only one SEAD aircraft left in the Iraqi OOB after you had me delete or overwrite the rest and it runs 1984 - 1997 then the formation needs to run that as well unless you know of other aircraft the Iraqi used as SEAD that fills the existing formation start and end dates, otherwise that formation has been changed to match the "SU-22M3" 1/84-12/97 unless you have info that the missile was in Iraqi hands to match those previous dates

I was not planning to raise this issue for this patch as in fact I am not entirely sure about initial availability date. 1984 does not sound too bad but it might have been earlier, like 1982-1983. SIPRI for example lists 1983 for delivery. I have read claims on forums about it being used operationally already in 1982. Hence my comment about leaving the initial formation availability date alone. I was planning to get a book on the iraqi air force which might have the answer but it isn't going to happen very soon.
