The issuing of them wasn't an exact science. I've had several groups with valor orders (ORBs, etc.) that had jubilee 2nd Class. I think sometimes the vets were given whatever the issuing authority had at the time.
Also, the reason they aren't researchable is that the serial number was never recorded on the veteran's award card in the archives. In addition, there was never a citation or Ukaz (by name) awarding these, so even if they WERE researchable, no information would come back about the recipient.
