>Ratings for either ultra-niche body armor or more primarily vehicles.
Absolutely. There are actually 4 separate GOST standards for body armor, armored cars, bank vaults and armored glass, all using the same threat scale. Br6 is often put on "body armor" lists, but in practice it's a mid-high range armored car spec.
>Granits able to resist 7N37
I was out of the info space for a while, this is new to me. I need to lurk moar. If true, that's a "special threat" rating somewhere inb2n Br5 and Br6.

Here's a vid of Horse and Orengun shooting a bunch of Br5 rated plates with "7n37-equivalent" handloads, with various results.
tl;dr only Atlant and Schelkovo Br5-rated plates survived, and barely so, without backer and CAPs the BFD would be unacceptable. 7n37 is srs bzns.

I think the problem is actually with hype peddlers on the internets. Techincom and SShTF are dedicated mil contractors who don't even sell, much less advertise, to civilians or to channels visible to civilians. Whatever claims you see about their products are produced by people that are, at best, dishonest commercial resellers, if not outright fake peddlers or info-tainment hype men. Commercial vendors, like Atlant, are much more public about their product, but they accept that if they want to compete with certified, tested and pedigreed GI stuff, the burden of proof is on them, and they collaborate eagerly with independent testing.
In general, civilian participation in and around defense industry is still a pretty new concept in Russia, and not everyone has adapted to it. This leaves the opening for various sorts of bullshit artists. And y'all are looking at it through a muddy lens of language and cultural barrier.
