The one on the top right is for the Fleet Marine Corps Reserve medal.

Looking closer I may be mistaken as the second stripe in from the outside edges of the ribbon appear to be yellow not white.

Looks like Merchant Marine Mariners Medal

If you turn it around, the first one could be the 1/2" Navy & Marine Corps ribbon but the dimensions are off.

The colors are right, Blue-Yellow-Red, but they should be equal (i.e. all same same, not short and long)

Blue, yellow & red is probably Navy Presidential Unit Citation ribbon mounted in the vertical.

No, it’s white alright. You called it, Fleet Marine Corps Reserve Ribbon! 
 

Any idea what era?

I cant find one like it on the internet.

 

If it was mounted vertical, wouldn’t the stripes still be the same width?

bars look WW2 era being 1/2 in type and the backing plates are typical of WW2 era ribbons.

That's as crazy as what I postulated

The Navy Presidential Unit Citation ribbon was woven vertically but worn properly in the horizontal. Much of the red and blue color does not show

when the ribbon is mounted horizontally.

 

You can see an example in The Call Of Duty.  Look close and you can see the grain of the ribbon, it is sideways.

And the Blue-Yellow-Red in the top left position in the OP is the Navy and Marine Corps Medal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navy_and_Marine_Corps_Medal, and not a sideways Presidential Unit Citation

Not a Navy and Marine Corps Medal.   Blue, gold and red stripes are not equal width.

I hear you, but the blue/gold/yellow combination is the only one like that.

Look again on how mounted on the medal bar on the blouse in the next message.
