Hello, front buttons are allways visible on all M35 gymnasterka of NKVD units: border guard, security of the State, internal troop and security of strategic factories. This is a way to distinguish NKVD's tunics from army uniforms.
For completeness I have posted a picture of a gym with clipped pockets and another one of a 1942 dated NKVD gym with round pockets. I have also posted a link to the gym pocket thread for more examples of non-square pockets.
