Christophe,

I believe that official State awards (orders and medals, that is) are issued on 5-sided suspensions. Titles, as you mentioned, have always been issued on rectangular suspensions.

As far as I know, badges are issued on 4-sided suspensions, in accordance with their status of non-official State award. IMHO, that would include most ministries.
