Mark, I don't have a reference to hand, but I think such epaulettes originally appeared for 1949 pattern Armoured and Air force Kitels.
The use of detachable ones continued concurrently for some years before they were phased out in favour of permanently fixed examples.
I'm not sure when the pattern was adopted for Generals. The piping looks raspberry to me suggesting a General of the non-combat services.
I think 16 Banner buttons were normal up to 1991; maybe post a picture of them and the tunic? From the pictures you post, it looks to be latter Soviet period (especially the one with pale fabric).

Interesting point on the buttons.

You might find this page of interest:
Униформа инж.войск - uniform-19.html
It describes Engineer Generals' Uniforms. Both jackets appear side by side in one of the illustrations.

Thanks! That is an interesting website.
