An normal early document and a bizarre very late one.

... and a bizarre very late one.

The Mongolian equivalent to Voenkomat issues, maybe?

So is this one officially called the "We Won" Medal or the Victory over Japan Medal? It may say "We Won" on the medal itself (Bid yalav) but from the document I get the impression that that's not its official name.

The official name (in English) is the Medal "For Victory over Japan" (per regulations adopted by the Presidum of the State Small Khural on 29 November 1945. But everyone calls it Medal "We Won". The latter name is just nicer and less boring. :)
