There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight The Who, Won't get fooled again

Phillip,
They are not engineering related, they are actual orders: at left, Mongolian Order of the Red Banner and at right, Order from the autonomous Republic of Tuva.

Thanks Marc. I thought I'd seen the Mongolian Red Banner before, but I just couldn't recall it when I first saw it on the uniform. As for the Tuva Order, I would never have known what that was without a closer look - good eyes!:thumbsup
Is the third picture in post #9 airforce/space (the latter is a guess considering that he had both the HSU and HRF)? I can't see enough of the shoulder patch to tell.
Surprisingly enough Timoshenko tunic from the Central Army Museum also has waist pockets.
This is the same tunic he was wearing during that photo session in 1941.
