The target aquisition radar of the Tor is not the same as the 9S80. Also your sources don't mention the 9S80.

Changed title. 9S80 is the closest in visual appearance similarity to the Tor-M1 acquisition radar, except Tor-m1 acquisition radar is F band not G band. Closest I could find in relation to the Tor-M1. It is estimated to have double or triple the engagement radar's range which is typical (44-66km)
Dog Ear seems a tiny bit larger but same parabolic mechanically steered design with a feedhorn

DB3K
Affected DBID(s)
Sensor 987, Facility 435, 481, 480, 2130, 2160, 477
Summary of Changes
Add 2x sensor copy db 987 (Dog Ear Radar is closest in visual similarities to the Tor-m1 radar) to the following Tor-M1 facilities: db 435, 481, 480, 2130, 2160, 477
Change to F-band / decrease range to 44km/24nmi (double engagement radar range)
facilities have 2 TEL so 2 sensors per facility is accurate (each TEL has 1 FCR/ 1 EW radar)
Here is Dog Ear 9S80 (notice similar design with feedhorn/parabolic antenna to the Tor-M1)
Here is Tor-M1 acquisition radar / slightly smaller with different feedhorn shape
