I had always considered the terms Balanced Modulator and Ring  
Modulator synonyms, myself. I thought that this referred to circuits  
that created sum and difference tones, while suppressing the carrier &  
modulator, as opposed to AM where the carrier is still present.

The 261e AM section goes from AM into ring modulation, so I imagine  
that the 285e circuit does something similar

Yes, there is an internal oscillator (actually two: one for the freq  
shifter and one for the balanced mod section), which can be pitched  
around and FMed.
