Now it will be really nice to get a translation of these three different hieroglyphs on reverses Cheers, Nick

It is exclusively KVGD since it bears famous emblem (railroad sleeper in section) Here is another variant of this emblem (it can be found at KVGD Guards badges)

Reverse

Actually there was a special badge for those who worked on KVGD. It is known as “KVGD Railroad Merit Badge”. Here it is Obverse

Who and for what Was this medal indeed intended for “white-immigrants when Manchukuo government started to change Soviet railroad personal to white-immigrants and Chinese workers”? I don`t think it was exclusively intended for Russian immigrants who worked on KVGD. Most likely it was a general medal intended for all transport workers (including Russian “white-immigrants” who worked on KVGD – Chinese Eastern Railroad or, as it was known in Japan and Manchukuo after 1931, Northeast- Manchurian Railroad).
