Jubilee Medal "40 Years Of The Armed Forces Of The U.S.S.R.".

I have several groups that appear to be fairly complete and original to the awardee...specifically to include post WW2 issues jubilee and anniversary issue medals. On that point, several groups of mine are ALMOST complete, but are missing one medal - the 40th Anniv. of Armed Forces medal. I know this medal is a common award, I just find it an odd coincidence to see it missing from so many groups I have seen, or purchased.... the 30th anniv. will there, and 50th, etc.. I wonder if there was a distribution problem with the 40th Anniv. of Armed Forces medal?
This makes me curious about how the overall distribution of jubilee medals worked. I wonder how the medals made it to the veterans well after the war, when veterans could be retired and living in some obscure villages all over the former USSR? I wonder who was tasked with the challenge of finding the vets?
