Note his new Engineering branch insignia; different ( and not as nice in my opinion) from the WWII era insignia of crossed axes.

Tretov,
He also seems to have hung his Red Banners in a strange order, the first one on the medal bar seems to have a repeat number on it  Marc |

 I think it looks like a total mess... You can see a Red Banner of Labor there as well, hanging below the other orders... and looking in the second row, it is a mess as well

well, it is NOT a mess...this honourable guy encountered a banal problem for this kind of award over-loaded high ranking officers...too many medals! can you imagine the pain and the work to re-arrange a medal bar of ten medals in order to introduce a new one? and remember such militaries received nearly regularly new jubilee medals from various friendly countries...so permanent reconstruction of the all medal bars...Poor babooshka, what a pain for her...
More seriously, to such a point many veterans prefered to pin aesthetically the new awards between to medals bars bearing the most ancient and prestigious awards... A red banner of labor, or the minors medals (hungarian?) are nearly or certainly purely honorific... About the red banners, what could be the most prestigious ones, following the opinion? the 1-2 first ones, earned in fight during the war, or the 4th-5th, exceptionnaly rare awards reserved to a few generals, earned at the service of soviet army?
