After slight modernisation in 1985, due to new industry designation standards, they were renamed: the UAZ-469 became the UAZ-3151, while the UAZ-469B became the "UAZ-31512".
1985 körül új elnevezési szabványokat vezettek be a gyárban, így a típust átnevezték UAZ–3151-re, az UAZ–469B pedig UAZ–31512 lett.
