Another one I need help with. I think that 4 & 5 are Moscow Military Medical academy Badges. Why are they shaped different?

Hi!
There are not and were not any Military medical academies in Moscow! Military medical academy is (was) situated in St.-Petersburg (Leningrad). #3 is unofficial issue for this Military medical academy. It was produced not in USSR but in Russian Federation for private order. Such emblem as at #3 badge was never used in USSR. It is restored emblem of medics of Russian Empire. And you understand that such restoration was not availible in Soviet Union :) If it will be interesting to you I can show some modern patches of Russian Federation's Military medical academy with such emblems.
#4 and #5 is for civil medical education but Lapa was not correct with their definition. #4 is for middle medical education (nurces, medical assistants) and #5 is for high medical education (doctors). There were not medical academies and universities in USSR. Only institutes.
