Hi Esteban, you seem have a fine piece...I don't have a one like this! ;) (I'd like to!)
The only point disturbing me are the shoulder boards, they look like a bit too long...are they recent? did you bought the tunic with them? what is your source for this tunic? Check if the shoulder boards are correctly, nicely and strongly sewn, inside the shoulders (inside lining).
Otherwise, be patient...this tunic should not wear 1980' years medals. The Lenin medal of 1970 should not be here. Instead of 1985 jubilee medals, you could put common 50' and cheap medals like a victory over germany, a leningrad defense, 30 years of red army. The red star is perfect, maybe the OGW2 is 1985?
take a look to forvalor.com, Dave's website, or http://www.mondvor.narod.ru (cyrillic!!!), they have sections dedicated to official photos with good exeamples of M55 tunics with medals.

oups! tretov is right, the shoulder boards should reach under the collar.
