What is a kilogram-force centimeter?

It is a unit of torque representing the moment produced by a force of one kilogram-force applied perpendicularly at one centimetre from the pivot.

Are kilogram-force centimeter and gram-force millimeter SI units?

No, both are non-SI gravitational units which may lead to slight variations when compared with SI torque units.
