Doug,
As a general rule - all pre-1943 style awards were exchanged for new variants. Yes, the old ones were returned to the state and the process was under strict control.
It's a widely held opinion that old awards were re-cycled (oh-my, how terrible does this sound!).
It's very rare occurence that a person was allowed to keep both new and old awards.
