The last posted star is indeed not a "serp i molot." I was referring to the one on the very first uniform which is indeed an HSU. That's what makes it look "fat." The others (very fat) are unknown to me and one looks like the "internationalist" medal from the Afghan war.
The stars and badges on the right breast are surely positioned in a somewhat random pattern. The staff academy diamond was always the wild card and often placed to balance the pattern, but the whole things was supposed to start at 70mm from the longest lapel.
I would not acquire any of them, although the navy tunic is fascinating.
