Lucky me - got some scans of documents related to Soyombo nr 83
First, the Soyombo document. This gives a name and I can look up his short bio in the big blue book of award bio's. Awarding was in 1967.
Second, the award document for the SB nr 561 which the recipient received at the same time he was awarded the Soyombo. Unfortunately the actual SB order went to a different buyer:(
Third, documents for a Red Banner of Labor (3100, awarded in 1979) and a Polar Star (7860, awarded in 1976)
The carton inserts for award boxes belonging to the Soyombo and SB (which is not in my possession) just arrived. The numbers of the awards pencilled on the back.
Still hopeful of getting (eventually) some of the original award documents...
More info on Angir Arihad, the recipient of the Hero of Labour nr 83 posted directly above and - fortunately - in my collection.
First, from the "blue bible" which contains bio's on a lot of award recipients:
140.82
Angir Arihad (born in 1932) was born at Santmargats soum, Zavhan aimag. He was bestowed the title of the Hero of Labor of the Mongolian People’s Republic when he was working as the herder of the “Bayasgalant amidral” collective farm.
Arihad has been working as the sheep-herder since 1957. He has been fulfilling quotas for herds, wool and milk for many years. Arihad became the Champion herder of the Mongolian People’s Republic in 1979. He was awarded the Order of Sukhbaatar and many other awards. Arihad is an uncle of Merited worker of the Mongolian People’s Republic P. Damdinjav.

Second, more details from the decree related to him being awarded the Gold Soyombo. Have a scan of the decree itself unfortunately in PDF and too large to upload.
This is probably very much a "classic" Soyombo recipient and it's nice to see that even (or: especially?) for relatively early awardings of the Hero of Labour title it was already considered that 'farming' is a highly appreciated activity worthy of such a high and rare award.
