That pattern of tunic was worn by VOKhR and other paramilitary organisations long after the war (including in blue).
The colour pairing is unfamiliar - I'd only expect to see pink piping on maroon for NKVD. (It doesn't look red to me).
I'd say it was something very niche (and therefore unfamiliar) or made up.

Several drawings of those black with pink piped collar tabs appear on pages 143 & 146 in the new NKVD book: Soviet NKVD Structure, Commanders, Uniforms and Insignia 1934-1937. From what I can tell, and this is up for debate, those tabs have something to to with Political Commissars (???).
