Variation 1 was used from the very begining up to 7XXX. Lowere known number is 216. Variation 3 replaced Variation 1 somewhere between 6XXX and 8XXX numbers (in these two thousands they co-existed together) Variation 2 is the rarest. All medals of second type that I saw had neatly stamped number by small puncheons and had before the number. Let take a look at some examples

Q.E.D. Of course we should consider this evidence as indirect for “reload” of orders numeration. But personally (especially taking into consideration extremely low numbers on some orders that were issued after 1950) I am certain that the numeration of orders was re-started too.
