Re: National Order Of Labour.
Here is Gold Type 2 (Kolodka).
The original male/female ribbons were very much phased out due to the first batches running out and the Type 2 universally replaced the older styles within 15 years although some were awarded a good time earlier than that. Recipients could also replace the suspension themselves if they chose to. As with many other Bulgarian awards of the time when they were "constructed" the ribbon was put on any which way round.

Re: National Order Of Labour.
Here is Silver Type 1 For Males.
The additional loop in the suspension being an affectation left over from the "Regency" period when the Crown often used to suspend Medals and Orders was replaced with a wreath.

Re: National Order Of Labour.
Here is Silver Type 2.
Very frequently the only way to distinguish Silver from Bronze is the fact that the finish on the "Silver" is frosted and "Bronze" is smooth.

Re: National Order Of Labour.
Here is a Type 2 1st Class. A fine example of a confused ribbon regulation.
