Hello Alex
As I know the decree was often published on the Pravda next day after it issued. So If you konw Russian you can have a look at the Pravda oct 2 .1943. I guess there is some information about the labour medal.
PS: you can see there are two dates in the labour medal booklet
One is the oct 1 .1943(the decree date) and another one is DCE.27 1943(the award receive date )
As the same way, I think you can find the deccee of the Combat Merit Medal on pravda feb.2 1945
here is the link http://kp.ru/link/9may/feb45/
good luck
