I like the ribbon and button but not to sure about the cross on it.

Same as Eric, I have never seen a cross on one of these

Hí Eric and nick
I have not come across such type so I put up here
It could be off an EK pin and the owner has cleverly attached it to the button

I don't think the EK miniature was a former stickpin affixed by the wearer: Ribbon bows with attached miniature decorations were commercially available in the period.
I don't specifically recall having seen a wartime 1939 EK 2 ribbon bow with a miniature cross, but I have seen this style with 1914 EK 2s, 1914/18 Honor Crosses etc.
Actually, this specific manufacturer definitely offered a 1939 EK 2 ribbon bow/miniature combination for the 1957 version of the decoration (see below page from a post-war catalog from the Sedlatzek company featuring the 1957er decorations), so it is perfectly plausible that they had already manufactured this style in the Third Reich period:
Thank you the exhaustive and convincing answer
