The terms "NKVD" and "Justice" do not seem to go together.
Nevertheless, here is the dress tunic of an officer of the NKVD Justice branch.
The royal blue color is present, but with silver tresse, reflecting a non-combat branch. Still, this tunic has on the right breast two holes where screw-back awards were worn. These troops may not have been "combat" in the sense that they were on engaged directly with the Germans. However, the NKVD "Courts" were operating on the front lines, and they did have guns; they just don't seem to have pointed them at the Germans....
