Christophe,
That's an interesting example, but I think there is a minor flaw in your logic. The problem is that most soviet awards were not awarded sequentially, especially the OGPWs. Still when we have more data the list will become more indicative.

But for this, we need a far more complete and exhaustive list !!! :(
But, let's take an example (not a scientific demonstration !! :rolleyes: ) :
For the mark "7", the corresponding dates are globally - even if sequences are not always respected - these ones (don't hesitate to correct them if I'm wrong...) :
7 - OGPW 1st Class, 1st type s/n 13197 - June / July 1943.
7 - OGPW 2nd Class s/n 56855 - March 1945.
7 - Khmelnitsky 3rd, T1, s/n 1608 - End of 1944 (before Nov. 44)
According to the data we have, the bandwith (dates and types) seems quite limited in the time : 06/43 - 03/45 ...
For the mark "5", if we exclude the OBH screwback SN 2947 (June / July 1936) with unspecified mint, the dates should be :
5 - Nevsky - T1V3 s/n 559 - Nov / Dec.1942
5 - Nevsky - T1V3 s/n 13528 - 1943 (before June ?).
Same remark.
To pursue on this track, we obviously need more data, but let's be patient... :)
