The reverse of the second pair
It is very difficult to know if one pair (or both) are real M43.
Thank you for your help. I have seen an old post about a similar type of shoulder boards but I need more advices.
Best regards.

I'm assuming that you are attempting to complete an NKVD Frontier Troops service or parade uniform. Correct?
Both pairs seem to be original M43 type - Technical. The star and tech embellishments seem OK. The tank ciphers may be OK also.
99% of all NKVD M43 boards were six-sided from their inception until 1958. There were a few anomalies that deviated from regulation. IE - German made types made post-war for "reparation".
Both types of lace (silk & metallic) were used throughout.

Hello Richie, thank you very much for your answer. My project is to complete a uniform of a border guard officer from engineer corps. I believe that metallic laces were supposed to be postwar. I am happy to see that both pair are good. I have to choose now
Regards.

Your welcome GG.
Metallic lace existed wartime also. There were a few different patterns that can tell between wartime and postwar.
Choose them both. I'd be interested in either pair for one of my projects.
Let me know via private message.
Cheers,
Richie

Stars and ciphers should be gold on the first two pair. The second pair sports German made (for reparation) field buttons. Whilst not the norm, I suppose they were acceptable on a gymnasterka worn "in service".
Also, on the pair of non-combatant field boards, I'm not fond of the edgings. Too thick. However, that's my opinion and I would personally yield on purchasing them.

I think branch insignia on the straps is postwar added, better to replace with technical automotive insignia in gold

Thank you Richie and Dimas. I appreciate your expertise.
Richie, it is difficult to be sure but if I compare with this an other pair (similar but junior officer) I agree with your analysis. I Will make pictures later at home.
