Interesting, that some of the bars on the first medal (with four golden bars) are marked too (with later two-digit-letter marks)

Really like the boxes for these additional bars Nice example of boxed bar that was issued in 1941.
-
"Intermediate" slim silver bars also look nice Exellent example of medal with two "slim`s" Medal was issued in the same 1928. Silver bars were added in 1939 and 1942.

Find one of mine Issued in 1928. Silver bars were added in 1930, 1931 and 1936. Golden bar was issued in 1940.

... and two reverses "Merit" not "Honorary" Ordinary, standart reverse

Obvisously that the ribbon has this rosette
-
So it looks like we have undescribed (in Chart) variation of Merit Medal (post #80) By the way, Petersone also didn`t mentioned this variation of Merit Medal in his book. The only medal obverse that is shown in his book
