Well, "non-combatant and combatant" is not correct, indeed.
The original Military Merit Medal commonly known as the "Signum Laudis" was introduced by Emperor Franz Joseph in 1890 as a sign of His Majesty's Royal praise and recognition for either 1.) outstanding achievements in war or 2.) as a sign of his satisfaction for excellent service in peace. The award for wartime achievement was worn on the ribbon of the Military Merit Cross (on your picture on the right and that for service in peace on a red ribbon (on your picture on the left). Swords were introduced in December 1916 for the military action facing the enemy (only "war service").
Thank you for your details !

I’m leaning towards bad ! War service medal on ribbon for veterans medal and was told Turkish awards are not official medals but Souvenir pieces . Backing seems odd to me also ?
