Absolutely. Specially for nursing staff who worked as civilian nurses then military nurses then went over to Japan.
On top of the trio being awarded by the Soviet Union you also have the ability of the trio being created with the intervention of the "Umalatova" Labour Medal.
Every Victory Day you see at least one veteran with all three, usually with half a dozen or more other Umalatova items.
I suppose with bureaucratic errors it could be possible to be awarded not only all of these but possibly awarded any of them twice. Somehow I think finding all 3 Medals with award documents dated the same day issued by the same district will be as difficult as finding the holy grail.
