Silver field officers' shoulderboards, unless I am mistaken, were abolished in either 1969 or in 1974. Anyway, altough that mix of patches is something that could have happened (If You look up S. Zaloga's book on soviet Airborne forces, there are pictures of paratroopers wearing similar mix), the fact that the boards are silver to me indicates clearly that this uniform is put-togeather.
