not really reversed....the photo is ok.
i also collected original photos of generals from 1940-1945 when i collected uniforms. I would sometimes find photos of generals wearing the medals with the ribbons reversed like this. i was not sure why, until i was talking with russians in moscow. their opinion, which i agree with, was that the reverse ribboning was the style of the europeans ( and, the germans whom they could not admit they admired) wore. so, I decided to have one of my generals VPs medaled like this.
