There are many versions of the RKKA uniform buttons. The buttons in the photos are a kind of puzzle because it is not entirely clear to me which front belongs to which back. Nor do I dare to say whether all buttons are original. There are also very good copies of RKKA buttons and insignias:
Поиск - button and Пара латунных эмблем бронетанковых войск РККА .

1: This shoulder strap button was made at Mosshtamp (Мосштамп). On the back is also a year. Usually these buttons are dated fifties.



2: Unmarked buttons are a lot harder to identify, but I suspect this button was made at the button factory UPTVA. UPTVA produced these buttons until the mid-fifties. The photo shows a card with 8 Soviet shoulder strap buttons on it. These buttons are all of the same model as your numbered button 2. The card states “button factory YPTBA (ПУГОВИЧНАЯ фабрика УПТВА)".

3: The manufacturer of these 2 buttons is unknown to me.
