Zoomed in I think I can see the neck of the lamp is clear?, so probably indeed a mercury lamp Cool

This fixture is named “SLS 85”, the number presumably indicating the year of its development, itwas presented in the fall of 1987 at the trade fair in Leipzig.

The manufacturer was VEB Leuchtenbau Leipzig. Production began in 1987 and only ended in the 1990s.
The catalog sheet is already from the nineties.

Sorce: Katalog Sachsenlicht

There were three different sizes of this fixture for SON lamps from 50W to 400W and for MV lamps from 80W to 400W.
The fixture in your photo is very likely to be fitted with a SON 150W lamp.
