Both are nice originals. The 5th class is in an earlier case with the lid lacking one character that meant order. The 4th class would have had the rosette on the ribbon attached later, after Oct 1937, as it originally came without it, being a Meiji-Taisho strike. This one may have had the case also replaced to the updated Showa wording on the lid, making it a bit of a mix and match.
