Unidentified UN Ribbon - Korea Era

[ItemCo16527]

Hi, all.

 

I got this bar off of eBay because of the unusual UN ribbon. Does anyone know what it is? I don't think I've seen one before. Thanks!

Left is a UN Service and Army Occupation (which is reversed on bar)

Hey, doyler! I knew the Occupation one, but hadn't seen a UN ribbon like this before. I just looked up the UN Observer Medal and the ribbon is similar, albeit with thinner stripes and no UN insignia. It seems it was created in 1948, so it makes sense it's paired with the Occupation ribbon. Thought the Observer Medal was created much later!
