My knowledge in regard to uniforms slim, if that - strong half of mankind, Correct! And what if this thing is written to the 20 th anniversary of Victory (in the picture spring, people in dress uniform) and represents the pilots, fellow soldiers, 20 years ago, fought together?

And nonsense. Hero of about 35, but he is - a junior officer, one lumen of the pursuit. And time after the war.

 No nonsense here. There were heroes and soldiers and sergeants and officers, and after the war, soldiers and sergeants could give (and could not give) an officer's rank.
I can add to the discussion of their 5 kopecks:
1. It is not ceremonial, and daily form for circulation outside the system. (The dress uniform is not always wear strips awards, and medals themselves, and many other differences, color of shirts, jacket, caps).
2. That such a detail for reflection, I think that many will be interested, namely:
-After the war, many officers have left in reserve, as well as the country was poor and the clothes were napryazhenka, many of them continued to wear military uniforms, which created some confusion and disarray, everyone enjoyed the privileges, rights and responsibilities at its discretion. When a person needs, he military need not - and I was in store.
In order to avoid this year as in 1947-1948 (can not remember) those soldiers who have resigned were required to shoulder straps, and more precisely at the end of the ring wearing a cross Chevron, showing that this is a retired soldier. This Chevron we see in the picture at the right-most officer.
And although the chevrons have existed just a few years, but the artist wrote them, which allows more accurate picture to date the time of writing (the source) and delete the date 20 years of Victory.
