MFSK-4with mixed offsets mode (likely Ukr nets)

Some days ago my friend Mike (mco) sent me an interesting record about a seeming MFSK-4 signal (fig. 1) originating north of Rivne, Ukraine; such (duplex) transmissions are frequently heard on 13873.55, 15833.55, 15863.55, 16354.55, 17412.55, 17442.55 & 17469.55 KHz (Rivne TX).

This sample I think it's a  combined mode in which the used offsets and speeds are: -1200 -400 +400 +1200 400Bd, -750 -250 +250 +750 250Bd, and -600 -200 +200 +600 200Bd; anyway, it's to be noticed a change of the center frequency between the first and the second mode (Figs 2,3).

"They use a wide range of frequencies and I've not noted all of them. This list seems ok but it certainly include Main stn freqs and also side B stations ones and some are missing. They are working full duplex with abroad stations according to multiple TDoAs. So far I've seen them using MFSK-4 with 50/100 80/160 100/200 125/250 160/320 200/400 250/500 400/800 500/1000 settings" my friend Linkz say.
