Kanjis on a medal bar

[Aniki]

Hi, can you help me identify the meaning of the kanjis on a medal bar? I see 実用薪X 二八五五五〇, however don't have a clue about it. Is it a name and a soldiers number? Many thanks in advance.

My mistake. Third kanji should be of course 新. 

And the rest is here.

View from the front. . This group of bars looks like it was bombed by an atomic bomb

The condition is indeed interesting. Ribbons in the middle are literally melted with the metal parts of the hanger. Maybe someone knows what it could have been exposed to? It's not a regular ageing process from the weathering and oxidising.

Most likely high humidity + aging. As for the hangar - it was made in anodized aluminum and looks fine (only patinated).

Wonderful, thank you very much.
