The brim decoration ,the "eggs", has nothing to do with parade or service caps, but rather with rank. Senior officers had it ( captian 3rd rank, 2nd rank, 1st rank), and jr. officers did not. They wore it on both the service and parade caps. The decoration to show difference between senior ranks and those below is common for most navies ( including the US) and is still in use for the Russian navy; It was in use for the red navy from at least 1940 until today.
