Yes, I talk about M/69 parade and service uniforms.
I do not know either why another colour was used, perhaps to disguise the highest officials of the state security from assassins? A MVD general did probably not have as much "need-to-be-killed" as a colonel-general of the KGB. If the KGB generals had worn royal blue piped uniforms, they would be pretty easy to spot. This is just my thoughts and not to be taken as facts.
