To comment on the DDR manufacturing issue - I have several DDR-produced veteran badges, some of which have spelling/language errors not immediately obvious to a non-Cyrillic reading producer and apparently passing some kind of quality control.
Examples of the DDR badges are on page 38, 54 of Soviet Second World War Veteran Badges. The error is on 25, forgetting the "cup" above "Й" - a mistake that would not have been made by a literate Russian speaker.
