Bulgarian RPG-22?

Hello friends,
During last time on Ukrainin battlefields appeared interesting RPG-22.
As you see, it isn`t common Soviet marking. It`s Bulgarian marking and it means that RPG-22 made in Bulgaria.
But (correctly tell - buuuuuuuut) some persons don`t belive and talks that it`s Soviet made, because Bulgaria can produce only transporting belts for RPG-22 and lecho from pepper.
I have few questions:
1. Do somebody agree that it`s Bulgarian RPG-22?
2. Do somebody has evidences that 11 in two rounds really Bulgarian marking? Unfortunatly link on web-site factory VMZ, where produces and not only RPG-22, didn`t help.
Photo of RPG-22.
Thanks for helping!
P.S. Lable with instruction how to use it - on Russian.
