Despite the order of precedence, the fading of the red in the center of the WWII Victory looks similar to the fading in the top left ribbon, which I still think is the USCG GC.

And, any number of reasons how it got put in that order of precedence too!

However that was printed, it looks like the red pigment really faded, you can see the red is almost gone in the Am Def, ATO and PTO ribbons. You're right there are any number of reasons the order of precedence could be off.

Add to that, based on many years of experience with museum works of art, RED, is THE most fugitive color of them all!

 

Red will fade faster and farther than any other pigment over time and exposure to any kind of UV light (e.g. sun).
