I guess they are wrong replacement ribbons. The badges with correct ribbons seem to be the following:
- The first Commemorative Cross of WWI (as well as nos. 3-7);
- Both Commemorative Crosses of WWII;
- The sixth and the seventh Commemorative Medals of the Second Balkan War;
- The first Carol I Centennial Medal;
- The first Military Virtue Cross (interestingly, the other one has the ribbon of the current Military Virtue Order);
- The 1906 Jubilee of King Carol I Medal;
- The first Crusade against Bolshevism Medal;
- The first Loyal Service Medal (the second Loyal Service Medal has the ribbon of the wartime Loyal Service Cross);
- The Honour Sign for 15 Years in Service seems to be a new model, but the badge is not according to the official description;
- The Honour Sign for 25 Years in Service (but it seems to have only a fragment of the ribbon).
