This beauty just arrived today, formerly of the Don Frailey collection: -
Wish I could come closer, but I can definately say that it has the "look" of a vet's decoration ribbon.

Found a photo of the vaguely similar ribbon I referred to earlier.

May be the first time I've ever seen Mr. Crowley quoted in a military history context...

I've seen a similar ribbon, being used on a regimental commemorative (don't remember the regiment though). Instead of the blue and yellow outer stripes, it had very narrow white stripes with a black stripes about twice as wide on the outside.

An aviator of some sort:

Just as senior, and even more decorated:

A decorated and very senior NCO:

An anonymous civil servant:

Feldintendantursekret?r & Hauptmann d.R. Georg K?stner

There's always the colorful Weimar period sneaking in:

Hence the caption: "There were definately SS units that incorporated the name / job description"
