In our catalogue we have the number of awarded at 9,277. I assume the number of manufatured Soviet pieces was higher, as I've seen Stars with SN above 9,277.
What happened with un-issued pieces? Were they all shipped to Yugoslavia or were some left in Soviet Union?

Very good question. I would imagine that the Soviet Union would have had medals in storage, and given the rift between Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union shortly after WWII, would it be that the Soviets just kept what Yugoslavian awards they had in stock?
