Not just the position of the XX RKKA, but the custom-made foreign ribbon bars called strongly my attention. For example, the Czech War Cross ribbon often is next to the dukla medal, and they have the same construction. In this ribbon bar, they do not match these two usual points at all.

Yes, at the beginning I thought the same as you, but why would a navy guy would be awarded a Warsaw medal?
There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight
The Who, Won't get fooled again
