I believe the ribbon immediately following the Academic Palms is for the Honour Medal for Chorus and Musical Societies
I have a few of them and the ribbons faded to exactly the colours seen on your ribbon bar. See here
I am unfortunately unable to ID the last 3.
Addenda: I just noticed... Duh. The Academic Palms ribbon should be the 1st one in the 2nd row immediately following the Croix de Guerre. That's a booboo...

First of all, judging by the other awards, I'd bet good money the very first ribbon is not for the Order of Social Merite but in fact a baddly faded Médaille Militaire (military medal) ribbon.
Secondly, the ribbon immediatly after the wounded insignia ribbon I believe to be for the Syria-Cilicia commemorative medal.
Sorry, I am completely unfamiliar with the lower 3...

WOW! Von Staufenberg looks awesome! With the black background, I first thought it was a painting or an artist's drawing .

Can you please help me out with the timeframe for this specific decoration and also what would be the correct number (2nd, 3rd etc.)? Any help would greatly appreciated.

All (and only) Defense Ministry ribbons have the yellow left half with a single or double black edged stripe(s). Single black edge stripe is a regular award, double edge stripes mean a commemorative or honorary award. The only department also using the edge black stripes on yellow half is the Office for Chemical Disarmament which used to be under the Defense Ministry.
Some other ministries and departments also do this to visually enhance theit awards. The Foreign Intelligence Service has a yellow bordered light blue left half.
The more recent FSB and FSO awards' ribbons have a yellow (sometimes white) bordered darker blue half.

I can't resist asking if the Russian Federation has come up with a campaign medal for the illegal occupation of Crimea.

Wonderful tribute!
If I may though... The maple leaf is too modern, only used since 1965...
It should look like this to give it a period look. Your choice though, looks great either way.
