Curiously in 1969 price list from Yugoslav car magazine, 124 and 850 sedan were named "Fiat-Zastava":

But in 1971 YU price list 850 was named just Fiat 850 (124 was absent, perhaps replaced by VAZ 2101):

In case of the 1st, 1969 list, it is important that not every Fiat is named there "Fiat-Zastava" - it is only case of 124 and 850 Standard (sedan), e.g. Italian 125 was named just "Fiat 125". This way it's possible that 124 and 850 sedan were assembled somehow by Zastava and cars like 125 or 850 Sport Coupe were imported directly from Italy.
I think, I see for the first something what can suggests that these models were assembled in Yugoslavia. On the other hand why they are not named anymore Zastava in 2nd document... :/ More proofs are needed to start renaming ;) (also after all there were plenty "Austrian" "Steyr-Fiats" not made in Austria).

EDIT: More proofs for existence of, let's say, "brand" Fiat-Zastava are period official documetation e.g. of 850 and 70s/80s "Campagnolas" (and period magaizne, I saw for sale in the web, but didn't save the link - they tested "Fiat-Zastava 124" there):
