This link should answer all open questions about the austrian wound medals. Unfortunately in German.

The Verdienststern, as I understand, was reserved for Heads of States, and actually never awarded.
Awards between 1934 and 1938 (information for the years before is unfortunately not detectable):
19 Ehrenzeichen 1.Klasse
74 Offiziers-Ehrenzeichen
89 Ehrenzeichen 2.Klasse
80 Silberne Ehrenmedaillen
108 Bronzene Ehrenmedaillen

Hello North Denmark,
I copied the pictures of the Verdienststern from Günter Erik Schmidt: "Ehrenzeichen und Orden im Österreich der Zwischenkriegszeit 1918-1938"

And opened boxes...

The box definitely belongs to the officers cross 1923 (Offiziers-Ehrenzeichen vom Roten Kreuz) and is dated in the first Austrian republic, as North Denmark already mentioned. The difference is not only its size but also its inscription. Note that 1864-1914 and of course K.D. (stands for Kriegsdekoration) is missing.
The attached picture shows some other Red Cross boxes of the first Austrian republic. The boxes in the upper row belong to bronze and silver medals, the boxes in the bottom row belong to the Ehrenzeichen 2.Klasse. The left is for male and the right is for female recipients.
Best regards!
