CBE
Gents,
Maj Gen Chalenko, CG of the 15th Guards Cavalry Division, 7th Guards Cavalry Corps opted for a unique mounting for his CBE neck decoration. It incorporates the CBE's original ribbon into his pinback rework. Note, too, his two screwback RSFSR Orders of the Red Banner which were awarded during the Russian Civil War when he was an enlisted cavalryman.

Re: Honorary British Knighthoods Bestowed on Red Army Officers During World War II
I suspect that actually wearing the foreign neck orders around the neck would have seemed too Imperial, too much a throwback to the Tsarist era. Ans since there were no Soviet neck awards, it also might have been viewed as disrespectful to wear a foreign award above the medal bar with Soviet awards. The foreign awards in the photos do all seem to be positioned beneath the Soviet awards.
