Nice medal bar and certainly an interesting bit of history. Just curious, why were the different ranks given different ribbons for their medals?

Quite a late answer,

However, the answers for different ribbons is the same as the answer why officers get orders and the lower grades get the zeal-medal,

Just because of the ranks, just to state the difference between the sailor and the lieutenant.....

Even the english do it, Admirals become knighted, sailors get a medal to commemorate their part in the action......

Belgians give lower grades of the national orders to the NCO's and soldiers, whereas officers get the knights-classes immediately....

yes, the pure equal society doesn't exist..... but differences motivates
