Just a note re: arm-of-service colors
I believe that the arm-of-service colors in use up to the collapse of the SU were established in the 1960's, the time the modernized uniforms were introduced(?). Up until then, the color scheme for the hat bands, collar tabs and piping was more complex and variated. Tank officers had black with scarlet piping, other branches had different colored piping.
