Ribbon hierarchy would indicate the last five ribbons, including the two you mention, are foreign decorations or Soviet badges. I recognize the last row's left-most as East Germany's Waffenbruedershaft medal. The ruby red ribbon may be the Soviet "Internationalist" medal while the bottom row's right-most ribbon is probably another foreign decoration or possibly the Soviet "Medal for Distinguished Service." This leaves your two which were either locally substituted by a creative ribbon mounter to reflect two other foreign decorations - or a faker's work. I agree that it appears legitimate and would opt for the explanation of a local substitute for scarcer, and probably unavailable samples of foreign decorations.
