As for the parade boards on overcoats - I don't know for the navy, but in the ground forces the officers had to wear parade (gold) shoulderboards on overcoats during parades in Moscow, Leningrad and hero cities.
Army officer greatcoats usually had grey-blue shoulderboards, except in the instances mentioned above. Navy officer greatcoats had black shoulderboards. Both with appropriate branch-of-service color stripes. The picture seems accurate.
